Greatgardens · August 6, 2021

Sunscald has been a big issue this summer with my regular tomatoes. Much less so with cherries and grapes. These tomatoes get about 7 hours of direct sun daily. Both my project dwarfs (Dwarf Arctic Rose and Rosella Purple?) had major problems with sunscald. Are there dwarfs that have good foliage cover -- i.e. "bushy?" Do lighter skin tomatoes (yellow/orange) have less sunburn?
