  • Help - what's affected this variety of tomato !

    Got a greenhouse full of several varieties of tomatoes, going really well (touchwood - first year of this !).

    One variety (Hillbilly) has been hit by some kind of disease. It doesn't appear to have affected the leaves at all, and only affects a few of the tomatoes. They go brown and concave at the bottom (not the stem end) whilst still green. We've 3 or 4 other varieties of tomatoes in there which haven't shown the slightest sign of this, and people keep giving conflicting advice - too much feed, too hot in the greenhouse, blight etc etc, but all the plants have been treated exactly the same, so it's still a mystery (or is to us newbies, anyway !).

    Have got photos but each one is too big to upload !

    All advice welcome !

    Hi Linda welcome! It sounds like blossom end rot. There is a thread on it in New Shoots titled Something Wrong With My Tomatoes dated 18/7/06. I hope this helps you.

      Hi Linda, I've had a look in my book and it looks like blossom end rot as Lesley says. It the result of not enough water. Maybe this type need more water than your others?
