My experience is limited, but from what I can tell "heat tolerant" or "sets fruit at high temps" means a few days at most, on either side of the heat of mid-summer. So I guess there's truth in labelling but it doesn't make as much a difference as it might seem.

I know I'm not heat-tolerant. This afternoon saw the winter squash leaves wilting. That pretty much reflected how I felt, so I headed back to the AC.
