Tomato plant concern #873395

Asked June 17, 2024, 9:10 AM EDT

What is wrong with this tomato plant? The curled leaves as shown in the photos are seen only on one specific variety of tomato plants growing in a high tunnel. Some gardeners are speculating a calcium deficiency. Thank you for your help.

Hi Kim,

My first thought is some kind of environmental stress.  It doesn't look like an insect problem. Has your tunnel been extremely hot ?

I think you might need to just wait and see what happens. I don't think this has anything to do with a calcium deficiency. I'm just not sure what to say at this point. The plants look healthy otherwise.

Let me know if there are more developments.
