Early Blight resistance......... - Page 2

Razorback04 · July 24, 2007

Is there such a thing? Early Blight has been an absolute plague here in the mid-south this year, so I thought I'd ask if there are certain varieties that are less susceptible to this evil plague. I've read about one called "Mountain" that supposedly has some resistance, but are there others?

For me, my Black Krims show some evidence of E.B., but are holding up much better than most others. The Shady Lady's seem extra susceptible to Early Blight while the Arkansas Travelers, Super Fantastics, and Glorys are about average. The German Johnsons are doing well, and I've heard that the potato leaved varieties normally fare well against E.B.

All of that VFFNTA stuff is great, but I want a tomato that says E.B. Resistant. (oh, and it has to taste great also)

So if anybody knows of any E.B. resistant tomatoes, fire away and give me a list.
