Super Sweet 100 flop!

I'm always searching for cherry tomatoes which will produce well, grow in high summer heat, resist disease, and taste good.

I grew Super Sweet 100 this year in large containers with Husky Red Cherry and Cherry Falls in the same containers. My thought was to grow Cherry Falls cascading over the sides of the containers, Husky Red growing and producing at mid level in the containers; and Super Sweet 100 growing over the tops of the cages. It was working well with the containers displaying ripe cheery tomatoes from ground level to the top of the cages.

About two weeks ago, The Super Sweet plants started displaying yellowing leaves near the bottom of the plants. The plants slowly yellowed, withered, and died in ten days. They were still loaded with fruit in various stages of ripeness. The other cultivars which share the containers are still in great shape and show no sign of disease. They are producing great cherry tomatoes abundantly.

I removed the residue of the dead plants, but left some fresh, green growth which the plants had produced near the base of the primary stem. It shows no sign of disease and may grow and produce again.

I won't be growing Super Sweet 100 again.
