Tomato Leaves

Here is more to the question that I asked yesterday. I had a client call in and was wanting to know about the leaves on a tomato plant. They stated that over the summer they had gotten into some poison ivy real bad and now when they goes through the tomato plants they are having the same affect. Can the tomato leaves have the same effect as poison ivy? They also stated that on ONE of the tomato plant they have 3 different kinds of tomatoes: the elongated, miniatures and the regular fat tomatoes. They stated they got this tomato plant in MO and is thinking that it may be a hybrid of some sort.

Hello Diane: A tomato plant is not able to produce 3 different kinds of fruit. I would guess that when the tomato plants were potted up before they were purcahsed that 3 different plants were put together by accident or seeds of last years crop sprouted within the row with the tomato plants from this season. Individuals vary in sensitivity to how they may react to plants. Please have the client consult with a dermitologist regarding the symptoms they are having.

Sincerely, Richard
