Showing effects of TSWV

  • Posted by farmerdill (Augusta Georgia - Zone 8a) on Jun 30, 2022 4:52 PM concerning plant:
    Mountain Rouge is a relatively early pink slicer that averages about 0.75 Lb. An indeterminate that is supposed to be 4-6 feet tall. This has been an extremely difficult year for growers. Some years I can work around TSWV but it is rampant this year. Mountain Rouge barely made it two feet tall before succumbing. Should be a great tomato under more normal circumstances. This year only varieties with high resistance to TSWV are producing nice tomatoes.
