San Marzano Issue

Hi all,

I have had something odd happen to my San Marzano's. This is the second tomato to have this, and it is only on this cluster on this plant. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, this is my first year growing San Marzanos but I noticed it also on a couple of mine. I keep a close eye on my plants and I noticed small caterpillars curling the leaves right around the affected tomatoes. I keep the little caterpillars picked regularly and I don't see the problem anymore. I figure its them taking a last meal before rolling that leaf over themselves. My cure for this is when you see a rolled leaf....if you even have that problem....just squeeze the rolled leaf between your fingers. If you feel a little 'pop' you know you got them. Hope this helps.....
