Growing Tomatoes Garden

Help!! Tomato leaves problem.

6 years ago

I noticed bottom sets of leaves on some of my tomatoes are getting yellow and turning into black, like burnt. The edges of leaves are also black if I look carefully. It even happens to some of the new leaves. I have attached some pics.

I believe it's some kind of disease, not simply due to leaves getting too old. Can any one help me figure out what is wrong with my tomato plants? Thanks so much!

Maybe bacterial canker?

The following pics are some updates on those problematic leaves. I think it's getting worse and worse.

Actually, this issue happens to my tomatoes in the same garden every year, but this year it comes extremely early before the 1st fruits are set. I am in Vancouver, Canada.

I hope you guys can give me some hints to help my tomatoes. Thanks.

I've had many problems with my plants in the past but never bacterial canker, so I can't give a definitive diagnosis but I would agree with party-music as the likely problem.

Below is a link to a good plant pathology fact sheet from the U of K extension service with great pictures and information to compare your plants to.
