Possible infection on Fried Green Tomatoes?

Post by davidpowell »

This guy has been in the ground for 3 years, and this is the first time he has shown any symptoms. The two leaves that show the really bad crinkling and discoloration actually emerged sort-of binded together, so I pulled them apart and it looks rather HVX-ish.

Hi there,

I don't think this is anything to worry about. I bet those leaves simply got caught together from a spring frost and being stuck they didn't grow out smoothly. The rest look fine and I don't see any actual virus symptoms here. Good to keep a watchful eye out though :)

Welcome to the forums!
