Can anyone tell me what's wrong with these please.

They are Ailsa Craig growing in growbags. We have several different varieties growing and the all seem to be OK.

Had a look in a 'Be Your Own Vegetable Doctor' and nothing looks like this.

Thanks

Pam

Yikes
I've had a few Ailsa Craig go a liitle like that in the past - looks like it could be catfacing - if so then it'll be down to the cooler weather after that hot spell

They'll still be edible, just a bit ugly

Fruit like this usually comes from fused flowers

Interesting to know - I feel an experiment coming on (when it stops raining)

Thanks Camomile, I've looked up fused flowers and can only find glass fused flowers lol. Can you tell me what they are please?

Look up tomato megablooms or I think I saw the description deflected tomatoes somewhere. It is abnormal flower resulting in fruit looking a bit wonky. Nothing wrong with the fruit, still edible.

Fasciation occurs in a range of plants and, as you say, there's nothing wrong with the flower and fruit apart from the strange shapes it causes but I don't think that's the reason in the case.

I must say I googled catfacing,didn’t know the the word.
I’ve grown tomatoes for about 12 years now and only had the problem with big/medium varieties of tomatoes, never with cherry ones.
I’m in the Highlands of Scotland where temperatures even in the summer are much lower than in England so I found it interesting that some plants would be affected and some not.

I'll just leave this here then - it's an Ailsa Craig grown in South Yorkshire...
