    Tomato Virus?

    Anybody any idea what this is? I've assumed that its a virus and stripped the plant out but none of the plants around it are affected.

    Its Jubilee. Are these particularly susceptible to anything?

    Yellowing between the veins of the leaf usually indicate magnesium deficiency.

      I agree that simple yellowing of the leaves would most likely be magnesium deficiency. However, this is accompanied by the new leaves curling up, stunted growth and none of the plants around it have a similar problem. The RHS description https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=250 seemed to suggest Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus but I don't think I've ever seen it before and I wondered if anybody else had a suggestion.

        Was the rootball really small?

          Seeing this sickly plant amongst its wonderfully healthy neighbours growing in the same bed, it does look like some sort of virus infection. I'd have done as you did and ripped the plant out. Fingers crossed it's an isolated example.

            It's always hard to know what to do, some of my Cornue des Andes looked just like that, but I just carried on giving them a feed & seaweed mix, and they grew out of it - so who knows *puzzled*

              Yes, the rootball was small and it made me think that it was an ants. There was a nest around there which has affected one of my Summer Cider plants (I've grown a few, one is quite small but the others have romped away), but it was the distorted leaves that worried me most.
