Understanding the Signals of Tomato Plants

摘要

A grower recently sent me a pair of photos (1 and 2) of tomato plants.Most of the plants in perimeter rows (Photo 1) had leaves coming out of their flower clusters. Then I found Photo 2, which had other clues as to what the problem was.So then, what is this tomato plant trying to tell us?Leaves are coming out of flower cluster at a young age.Plant appears to be very healthy.The colour is good and dark green.The plants showing these symptoms are located in the perimeter rows, especially on the north side.Fruiting clusters can also show a leaf coming out from the end of the cluster (Photo 2).
