Tomato Pests & Diseases

Is this Green Grape or have I planted Holly?

17 years ago

My green grape is looking a wee bit wierd. It is not turning yellow but the leaves are distorted and are greasy/shiny looking. The tomato plants that sandwich it are completely normal.

Last year I didn't have much luck with Green Grape, but it was a tall plant with few fruit. This one is stunted, green strangely shaped shiny leaves and blossoms in their infancy perhaps not developing. Is it a virus or a genetic problem?

I'm having a problem with my Green Grape as well. It is really stunted and its growing really bushy but only about 18 inches off the ground. I might pull it up, but I'm not sure.

Last year my green grape was tall and rangy and only produced a few fruit. It's supposed to be a smaller plant. I think I'm going to give up on this variety although I like the idea of having a green cherry in the mix of red, orange, black and whites, etc.
