Does the center look normal, Gonzer? Not damaged in any way? I dunno. In my experience the pups on fosteriana and its hybrids often come in sets of three, usually all on one side of the plant. You might get more if the central growing point got put out of business, but 7 at once is pretty unusual.

I'm posting pictures as a means to share what I'm dealing with, maybe someone has seen it before? It looks like both of my green zebras have some kind of wilt; It is not affecting any of the other tomatoes. I don't know what kind of wilt it is, or if maybe it's something other than wilt. A few key points: * The bed is brand new, nothing ever grown here previously * It was filled with ~16cu ft. of Miracle Grow Garden Bed soil; 48" x 48" x 12" (L x W x D) * They are not watered daily, soil is moist under the surface, but not saturated * There are two other tomato varieties in the same bed, just a foot or two away, with no wilt problems * There are no signs of moles or other pests in my yard * This location gets at least 6 hours of aternoon sun every day. * The tomatoes had an abundance of 1mm-2mm beige spider/beetle bugs on top of the leaves as reported in the first post of this thread Here are two photos of the two plants in question: I know these aren't the best pictures, they were taken with my Blackberry. Note in the first picture that most of the leaves and branches look amazing - and no bugs - but there are also complete branches just starting to wilt, or fully wilted. The first one looks like it has two small cankers or something on the side, this is how I bought the plant. It was one of the last ones left, and I jumped on it. In the second picture, note that some of the branches that are wilted are coming off of a main stalk, and the rest of the main stalk is fine, as are the other branches coming off of it. It's like ... it's completely random. I don't see any holes in the branches, although there are a lot of "pimples" on the stems of the plant, more so than the other nearby tomatoes, but I just figured this is normal for this variety? I'm tossing it out there just in case. I am going to post these over on the tomato or heirloom forum to see if I can get anyone who has seen something like this. I found a page via Google that talks about green zebra wilt in North Carolina, but it's dated June 2006. Could it be related? http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/chatham/ag/SustAg/tomatowilt06.html

If those were Aphids, or even Spider Mites, I would expect to see some kind of problem with the leaf with that number of them, even some marking on the upper surface of the leaf. Spraying a "bug killer" more than likely is not justified if there is no apparent harm to the plant and may do more harm to you. A periodic shower, for the fern, may well be all that is necessary being sure to knock off these whatevers on the underside of the leaves. Scraping some off onto a sheet of paper and placing that paper in a sealable plastic bag and then taking that to your local University of Hawaii Cooperative Extension Service office may well get you the information you want.

Hi, It looks like to me you have a big time spider mite infestation, from shade, maybe humidity, watering, cool to warm temps. Plumeria need sun. first If it was me, I would take the plant out in the yard, away from plants and wash it off, get rid of the spiders, and the red eye love bug..ick. I would spray it with schultz for spider mites and other infestation in the shade, you may lose your leaves. Or if you want organic, can make up a Tbl of palmolive soap to a large spray bottle and spray.. You need others to come in who have had this problem. Could be something else they can identify.
