    Hi, I have a few cherry tomato plants in need of a treatment for this problem. Over the last several weeks the lower part of the plant has had a lot of branches turning brown then eventually dying. I read and was told this was normal for tomato plants. As the weeks went on more and more branches died, and seemed to be dying higher up on my plant now. I also noticed a week ago the top branches where wilting a lot and did not seem to un-wilt after watering. I then thought I had either Bacterial Canker or Verticillium Wilt, so I started to remove dead or dying branches as i was told to help this problem. When I started to do this I noticed very tiny white bugs almost like a moth.

    Here are two pictures, can anyone tell me what is wrong with my plants. Is this bug killing them, or do I have another disease? IMG_8213.jpg
