farmerdill said:This area has a major problem with Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) so I trial several resistant varieties each year. This yeras trial varieties were PS01522942, Mountain Majesty, and Red Morning. Control was Bella Rosa which has been a good performer and better tasting than most TSWV varieties in the past. PS01522942 out yielded the Bella Rosa, flavor and texture were comparable. Mountain Majesty succumbed to TSWV without producing. Red Morning produced a crown set of medium size fruits befor succumbing. In past trials Amelia and Mountain Merit have performed well. Several TSWV varieties have shown adequate resistance in earlier trials but many like BHN 444, Topgun etc are are hard firm tomatoes most suitable for playing catch.
