Help! Hole in tomato plant

Posted by puffinyo (My Page) on

I've had the silver fir tomato plant indoor under a grow light for three months and now there's a hole in one of the tomatoes! Is it a worm? Should I cut off the tomato? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't look like insect damage to me. More like two tomatoes fused together or some kind of anomoly like cat facing. Nothing to be concerned about, in my opinion.

Lots of things can cause holes and are seldom a cause for concern. The "perfect" tomato is rare. :-)

Let it get ripe, if it stills bothers you, just cut around it and eat the rest. Growing indoors, it would be very unlikely to be a worm. The picture is not closeup enough to really see if it is a fresh cut or an natural dry open growth thing.
