Indeterminate dwarfs and disease anecdotal
hey all ,
I try and keep up with all the new varieties and wonder if anyone has noticed in their experience ........ Indeterminate dwarfs that are the least problems with disease and for you seemed the most resistant to common disease problems . And ones that seem to have a consistent susceptibility over the others to disease bottle neck in production . Really to me ...I am not talking about "flavour" but looking for dependable and disease resistant (least disease potential problems ). There must be some favorite ones noticed out there ?? I still Like Yukon Quest .... but wonder what other opinions are .

I have a note that Craig LeHoullier has said that the Sneezy Family
( http://dwarftomatoproject.net/Sneezy.php ) is particularly healthy. So far I've grown Jade Beauty, Sweet Sue, and Mr. Snow. All have done really well, and they taste great. Steve |

A real workhorse of a small plant that was the first to fruit and pick is Pearly Pink Orange. More tomatoes than one person can eat it seems on the plant. Flavor is not too bad either. I like em sweet and this one has a bit more acidic taste to me, but that my taste buds. The whole plant never got more than a few feet tall and it does require some good staking even for a little guy as the fruit is a good size cherry and the trusses get so loaded and heavy.

I think the taste is not as big concern as I am sure the pre-selection/development process took care of most of that .......
I have been "Happy" with the "Grumpy" Line LOL (and happy ) Interesting about Sneezy Line the Green ones are the most productive and healthy ....???
