The leaves of tomato plants often respond to different stresses by curling or rolling. If your tomato plants suffer from leaf rolling or curling, some simple garden-sleuthing can help you determine the cause and an appropriate remedy. Planting disease-resistant varieties is a first step toward preventing serious tomato problems, and most leaf curl issues in home gardens can be corrected so the plants can continue to grow and produce fruits.
Non-parasitic leaf roll is another climatic problem. Irregular irrigation and improper pruning cause the leaf edges to roll inward, sometimes to the point of overlapping. When most of the leaves on the plant are affected by this condition it may look serious, but it is not permanent. The remedy is deep, even watering on a regular basis and careful pruning.
