Looking for blacks less susceptible to catfacing

Marko · August 24, 2010

This season we had a period of cold and rainy weather in may that resulted in heavy catfacing of some large varieties. Here are my observations:

Heavy catfacing:
Cherokee Purple
Black from Tula
KBX
Aunt Ruby's German Green

Medium catfacing:
African Queen
Sandul Moldovan
Indian Stripe
Earl's Faux
Neves Azorean Red
Aunt Ginny's Purple
Cowlick's Brandywine

No catfacing:
Milka's Red Bulgarian
Chapman
Ashleigh

Obviously some varieties are more susceptible to catfacing than others and I wonder if ther is a large black or purple tomato that never gets catfacing.
