Classic case of over-fertilizing: deformities (too much nitrogen) and burning leaves (too much phosphorus and/or urea nitrate). To immediately correct the soil, use liquid gypsum. If not available, use the slower acting gypsum powder: spread 4 cups around each full size plant in the ground, mixing it in the mulch or top 1/2 inch of soil with a rake, and water it in. For a plant in a 15 gallon pot, use 1/4 cup.
