Looking for Seeds in Australia - VF resistant!

11 years ago

I am looking for tomato varieties resistant to verticillum + fusarium/I hate you so much fungus wilt! My tomatoes last year produced 15-20kg from 12 plants and looked really healthy but then one by one they died within a week around August I think.

I live in Far North Queensland, Australia.

I have seen "Celebrity", "Granadero", "Big Beef", "Better boy", and "Ace 55" listed as VF resistant and I have some Ace 55's on the way but where can I get the others?

Thanks.

I assume you want a source in Australia? If so Australianseed.com

sell Big Boy that is VF and likely a couple of others too. Problem is they don't list the disease resistance in their descriptions so you have to look up the variety on another website (like tomatogrowers.com) to find out its resistance.

I don't know what the shipping costs would be for seeds but you can order all of them from US vendors IF they have the ag permits to ship into AU given the seed import restrictions your country has.

Thanks, will look into it. Also considering grafting onto some cherry tomatos that grow like weeds here. They've been growing every year for 20+ years and randomly popup all around the house and don't seem to get smashed by wilt at all. I am hoping they will make good root stock?
