    I am growing this variety for the fist time this year. A beautiful tomato, however It is not resistant to fungal and bacterial spot diseases. Mine has a spot disease (verified by testing) which has spread to other tomato plants in my raised bed. I would not recommend this variety for hot, humid southern states, where these diseases are endemic.
