Why Do Tomato Stems Have White Bumps? Are The Hairs On Tomatoes Roots? | Gardening in Canada
Why do some tomatoes have white bumps? The white bumps you see on tomato stems are actually a form of root development. This can be a sign of deficiency but generally you do not have to worry. The other odd thing we see on tomatoes is the hairs. These hairs are not roots and will never become roots. The hairs on tomato stems are actually called trichomes and these are specially designed organs to help with protecting the plant from pests. This gardening in Canada video goes through the science of what exactly the white bumps on tomato stems are.

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE if you are wanting to know more on gardening in Canada & gardening in Colder Climates in general. My methods apply to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 1 - Zone 6. As a soil scientist I always try to incorporate science into my videos. Soil science can be over complicated so allow me to guide you.
Leave a comment and let me know where your are gardening. And let me know what videos you would like to see in the future!
Ashley is an agronomist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up and coming gardeners.
