    OK, where are they growing, what size pots, etc, etc. We can't help if we don't know the details.

      sorry, just in the ground.

      they were plants , 2 lots ( not same type affected) planted approx 3 weeks and 1 week go.

      have grown them straight into ground for last 7 years so don;t reckon that's teh problem

        the only ones I've had that turned papery from the top down were ones in the polytunnel that ran out ofwater and were scorched by the sun and heat.
        combination of lackof water and feed?

          White and papery sound a bit like sun scorch- have you been watering them whilst it's been hot and sunny???

            Could be the wind - we've had a cold northerly for the past week or more. Or has someone in the neighbourhood been spraying? Any other plants affected?

              No other plants affected, only some of the tomatoes..

              They are looking a bit happier since a mammoth watering yesterday, I;ve pulled the affected branches off.
