Tomato Plant being destroyed

12 years ago

I have some very healthy Tomato Plants that are being destroyed; every morning this past week, stems have been

taken off, as if cut with sizzors, leaving about 1/4 inch of the stem(very clean cut) and surrounding leaves are brown & dried/dead. I live on the 7th floor and have boxes on the balcony; no other plants/trees/etc are close. Is there anyone out there that can help me with this problem?

Thanking you in advance.

Aloha :), too late now but that could have been bird damage? When short on nearby nesting material?
