  • Posted by farmerdill (Augusta Georgia - Zone 8a) on Sep 19, 2022 4:34 PM concerning plant:
    Large (12-14 ounce) round red touted for heat setting ability. Unfortunately, it is susceptible to TSWV. Not a single plant survived to bear fruit. Dixie Red planted under same conditions did well. Looks good on paper, so I may give it a second chance in a container under more controlled conditions than I can achieve in a field planting. 8/12/2023. Good tomato year, but Jolene succumbed to multiple disease before setting fruit. Too disease prone for this area.
