Well, I pull plants that do that. Usually it is some unidentified virus
or viroid (could be Curly Top, which is not endemic here but not unknown,
either), and I do not want plant-chewing insects spreading it to nearby
plants. When my plants do that, they do not recover. Cutting it off does
not help, the plant stays stunted and deformed.

I have already pulled and tossed a couple of seedlings that had those
symptoms this year a few weeks after plant out.
