I've got a row of 6 cordon tomatoes in my tunnel, 3 each of two varieties, planted out in May. 5 of the 6 plants are growing well, look very healthy and are setting fruit, but the other one is being very weird. It's now about half the size of the others because it just hasn't really grown upward at all. The foliage looks a deep healthy green but it kind of looks twisted, as though the main stem is curling up instead of growing upward. Because of that, it looks like a small bush rather than a tomato plant.

There's no holes or damage in the leaves or stem that I can find, though today I did find 2 very tiny caterpillars on the leaves, not sure what kind because they were so small they were difficult to see. It's hard to be sure because it's so curled up, but what looks to be the growing tip looks ever so slightly blackened. I've never seen a tomato plant behave like this before so it's got me puzzled.

Anyone have an idea what this might be?

dunno but I'd pull it out in case it has a virus  Either buy a replacement plant or root a sideshoot to replace it
