Leaf Roll

Leaf roll tends to occur in hot, dry growing conditions or when soils become waterlogged.  Injury to the roots may also trigger leaf curl.  The edges of the leaves roll up and inward, and the leaf may develop a leathery texture. 

Some cultivars are predisposed to leaf roll.  Leaf roll seems to be a moisture conservation measure and is often permanent.  It does not seem to affect the productivity of the tomato plant.
