Growing Tomatoes

Oroma Tomatoes - Strange Leaves

16 years ago

I am growing Oroma Tomatoes for the first time. Do most determinate tomato types have a different kind of leaf then the indeterminate? All of my Oromas have a wrinkly, dry looking leaf that is a little lighter green then all of my other tomatoes. I thought it was lack of watering, but all of my other tomatoes look normal. Does anyone else have this type of leaf on their paste tomato plants or is there something wrong with my tomatoes?

Cindy.

Not sure on Oroma but I am growing Mortgage Lifters this year and both plants I have do have a noticeable lighter shade of green and all of the plants I have seen in nurseries are that way too so it could just be a trait of Oroma. Just my 2 cents.

Not necessarily overwatered. Edema is caused by environmental conditions of moderate temperatures, fully moist soil (or potting mix), and relatively high humidity. Not damaging.

Supersteak is a slightly wispy foliage plant and fasciated (fused) stems such in your pic are fairly common IME with it. The leaf roll in the bottom pic (and the stems in the top) is indicative as Donna said of soil moisture problems. If you have been getting heavy rains, much more than normal, that would explain it. If not then you have a watering issue - over-watering. Leaf roll poses no real threat to the plant as long as you eliminate the cause if possible. Dave
