Default rootstock for florida

Ready to order seeds for fall and wondering if anyone had any recommendations between RST-04-105-T F1 or supernatural for west central florida, in ground? Or other varieties

Default Rootstock For Florida

Hi namwah,
I used RST-105-04-T and Maxifort and was not impressed with either. Most of my grafts were lost just as they were setting fruit due to bacterial wilt. It is a problem here in NC and I know Florida has problems too.
Peekers on the forum here recommends RST-106-04-T, as it is totally resistant to bacterial wilt and all 3 races of Fusarium. He says he has had great success with it. This is what I am going to try next year. His seed source is NE seeds.

namwah,
I meant RST-04-105-T didn't work for me and RST-04-106-T is what I will try next year.
Sorry typing too fast.

I had good luck with Multifort and Tasti-Lee last season and this season. I am also using 5 others but it is too early to give a good answer on them yet since I didn't use as many of them and this is my first season using them. I only use varieties that are resistant to all three races of fusarium now. I have had no bacterial wilt issues with any of my plants for the past two years. Whatever variety you decide to use make sure it is resistant to 3 races of fusarium wilt.

A pic of the tomato garden, all are grafted with rst-106 rootstock. Thankfully Arthur went east of us.

I might have to try a couple of varieties and see which works best.
Thanks for the info
