What is this on my tomato

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Could any tell me what they think this could be on my tomato? I'm thinking possible sun scald, but none of the more sun exposed tomatoes show these signs. Only the larger tomato varieties. And they all start with this darkened scab like marks at the flower stem, then show marks on the top of the tomato. There isn't any marks on the bottom of any tomato.

I cam e to post something similar aswell. Bolsano variety. 5b.

Subtle "rusting" around the shoulder on 1 plant of many. It's the only one planted directly on the ground. The ones not affected are im raised bed. Also it is mulched with 2 inches of woodchips while the rest are not.

Bolsano
