Growing Tomatoes

'Tappy's Heritage' and blight resistance

11 years ago

I just looked at a no-spray garden with several varieties of tomato. Tappy's Heritage was free of foliar disease here at the end of July, while other varieties were ailing. My Cherokee Purples at home have plenty of Alternaria blight. Late blight is also active in our area.

Anyone else observed resistance (or not) in TH?

Sorry, But I am not in "NO Spray Garden " camp..

But as far as I know there is no tomato to resist all diseases. Those that are partially disease resistant, are mostly hybrids.

Standby for more comments.

I only tried TH for 2 years and that was several years ago but my notes on it, for what they are worth, aren't encouraging. Both years it was noted at "only marginal disease tolerance year 1, somewhat better year 2, good size fruit but average production and uneven ripening. 5 out of 10."
