I cannot figure this out

17 years ago

One of my CP tomato plants is stunted, with dark, dark green leaves. The leaves have holes in them near the tips of the leaf petioles. I cannot find an insect on the plant, so I have no idea what is happening.

Any help??

Thanks,

AJ

I don't have an answer for you. Most causes of stunting cause yellowing as well, and you mention it's a deep green. I'm not sure that the holes are the same issue. Holes make me think chewing insects of some kind.

Are the leaves otherwise distorted -- long and thin, cupped upward or downward, or tiny and crinkled? Or is the plant just not growing as quickly as the rest?
