Left on vacation for a week and came back to all my tomato plants with branches like this. Seems to be spreading quickly.

I have the same thing! If anyone could share some info, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I think it's a fungus of some kind. Will any fungicide work?

I think it's a virus. The only thing I know is to pick off the limbs that have it on and burn them. Putting down straw around the plants can help keep it ( virus) at bay if that is what it is.

Daconil will slow things down if started early enough. Blight, whether early or late, is definitely a sad sight. This is not a virus.

Edited to say virus and blight are systemic conditions. Nothing here indicates virus.

Sept or is leaf spot. Virus has curled and thick leaf. Make sure you clean any leaf litter and bag and get rid of it. It stays in soil. Use a fungicide. Follow all label instructions.
