  • Strange tomato disease?

    I had a spare tomato plant that I planted out in the open about 2 months ago and it grew quite big and I hadn't staked it.

    Anyway the plant appears to have a strange disease that I cant diagnose.

    The stems appear to have gone brown/yellowy and almost look like theyve been broken slightly. They then appear to have grown little bobbly growths on them and what almost looks like little eggs inside one of the slight breaks. They arent eggs though they are hard lumps.

    The leaves are also showing some brown death on them.

    The fruit and higher leaves seem fine though. I have cut some of the affected vegetation off.

    Any ideas? Wondering if the brown crispy death bits could be blight.

    the lumps are where it would root if it were lying on the ground, theyre just extra rooty bits, the brown cripiness is probably scroch, if it were blight it would be brown or black and sooty looking.

        Even though the bumps are 1-2 feet above ground?

          Yes!. If you laid the plant down on the ground it would root in lots of places. Its normal

            Remove all leaves underneath the bottom truss & any that you don't think look happy then it will look a lovely healthy plant again...........
