Has anyone ever experienced something similar to this and know what it could be? It affected all 26 Sleazy B plants (a cross for the tomatoville dwarf project) at about the same time, 24 F3 dwarf plants, one indeterminate F3 plant, and one F2 Plant. All were grown from seeds I saved from healthy plants. They are in 3 different beds and some are in Earthboxes with new Miracle Grow soil.
No other plants showed any symptoms until a New Big Dwarf had contact with a diseased branch for about 2 weeks. It now has the same symptoms. On the other hand, a Stump of the World also had contact and was unaffected. All other plants are healthy. I suspected Bacterial Wilt but none of the branches or main stems shows a milky stream when placed in water. It seems, whatever it is, Sleazy B is extremely susceptible to it. The first indication is a slight browning of the stem and leaves. ![]() Click for Larger Size Then the leaves begin to brown at the stem. ![]() Click for Larger Size The entire leaf is eventually brown and crispy. ![]() Click for Larger Size Fruit continues to grow and ripen and looks fine. ![]() Click for Larger Size Some plants continue to have new growth, flower, and even set fruit. ![]() Click for Larger Size But eventually all leaves can be consumed.
