Very strange....At the start of the season I bought two Tasty Tom plants from a garden centre and one had leaf curl and it still does not look right months on.....But This plant is at the other end of the greenhouse ...its a Mississippi Love Apple raised by myself from seed and its not the only one with Leaf curl ....I am really struggling for an answer...I will give it a good drench with an epsom Salts mix...and see what happpens..
..I have to cease relying on Garden Centres cause thats two years in a row I think i have been done by disease coming in from the same Garden Centre...unless it is the Sphagnum Moss I used early on as a seed raiser being infected with something....I ceased using it and my late seedlings look really good...So its not the Perlite...and thats the finish of Sphagnum moss...

I am hoping next season i will have all the answers...Regards Ron
I looked at your pictures several times and was looking for what one can see early in the season which is unbalanced growth that can lead to cupped leaves,upside down leaves,leaves that are in a tight roll, which spells aphids,but I didn't see any of that.

In the top left picture I did see evidence of what might be viral,with that one sstem hanging down.

And it's also known very well that leaves can exhibit all I've mentioned when it's too hot,too cold,and hybrid varieties also are prone to those same symptoms.
