No other indicators other than the leaf rolling. I've seen that website. I'm not sure what to do any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Oh okay.

I wonder if they have been burned by too much fertilizer. Pic?

Anyone have kiwis?

We have kiwis. Hairless and hairy varieties.

Oh nice! We have three, one my dad's had for about 10 years and is male (fuzzy) and two were put in early this year when some friends moved into town and couldn't keep them, unfortunately they weren't sure which was male and which was female :/

In tomatoes I think it's a magnesium deficiency... Not sure though.

Would dried banana peel added to soil help?

I thought it interesting that you prune out the 4 year old canes. I just dont have time to be pruning the wild stuff, so my high bush blueberreis are about 8 feet tall and mostly 20 year old "canes". I had the back hoe dig and move the bush in 1994 to make a drive way. It is loaded with flowers now. Usually the song birds pick this bush clean before I get more than handful. lol
