Princpie Borghese leaf roll

[greenthumbomaha]

The weather here was and is unseasonably hot. A container grown Principe Borghese is my only plant displaying what I assume is severe physiologic leaf roll. This was planted in a container at the same time as several other tomatoes. I went the container route because the ground was so cold this year.


Is this common with P.B. in extreme heat?

The twisting of the sheets with Principe Borghese is normal in hot weather. It is a variegated property.

Thank you for responding Vladimir. I don't know what a variegated variety is with respect to a tomato. I am familiar with varigation in coloration of leaves, commonly green and white. Hostas are a good example of varigation. Principe Borghese looks to have a solid green RL leaf.


Is there a reference for this trait in tomatoes?
