Ananas Noir Leaf Variation

[unhhuh]

Hello, I have a leaf variation in a tomato plant that I've never seen.

I attached two photos.

All the rest of my plants are normal.

Have any of you had a leaf variation like this?

I hate to say it but that looks like a virus of some sort to me. Until you can confirm it one way or the other, I'd keep those plants away from any other plants just to be safe.

Whatever it is, I would dump it-fast! Something is very wrong!

In an outdoor plant, I would say herbicide drift. Could the growing medium be contaminated?

Contamination is my guess-

[unhhuh]

I've been googling; and my best guess is cucumber mosaic virus.

Trying to decide between destroying with fire, or growing a little longer inside away from all the other baby's... just in case.

Thanks guys.

EDIT:

Confidence is high according to all my sources - going with the nuclear option.


Thanks for the assist. Time will tell on the rest of the plants.

Curious - was that an indoor plant?

Yes, indoors. I use heat mats and fluorescent bulbs, then move them up to sodium/halide bulbs prior to setting them out.

It possibly could be genetic. I remember seeing a similar mutation in a seed cat many years ago.

Dumb question I know, but are you sure it's a tomato? It looks exactly like a pond grass plant I bought a couple of years ago, really cool looking and interesting.

I'd be tempted to grow it away from everything else and see what develops.
