So, I haven't posted in this thread for quite a while, but I've come down with a problem involving my hot peppers. My habaneros started out pretty strong, but lately the top leaves have been very small, kind of curled, and a bit withered-looking. The color is relatively good, but this looks like the pepper-plant analog to Witch's Broom in roses. Never seen anything like it in peppers before.

I’m not really sure what’s causing this. In fact, I have no idea. Does anyone know?

I don’t recognize it either. I think I’d test the soil, if you haven’t done that in a while. You could also show it to your county extension agent, and they might know exactly what it is.

TIK, do you have any ideas about Oberon’s problem peppers? I wasn’t able to help much I’m afraid.
