I read somewhere that Black Krim is particularly susceptible to heat. Here's a list from b54red of varieties that do well in the heat:
Pruden's Purple **
Big Beef **
Limbaugh's Legacy *
Sioux **
Frank's Big Red
Indian Stripe reg & pl **
JD's Special C Tex **
Zogola
Arkansas Traveler
Couilles de Taureau *
Red Brandywine
Druzba
Carbon
Spudakee **
Berkely Tie Dye Pink **
Red Barn *
"All of these have done well for me [b54red] in the hottest times of the year and into the dry fall months when the temps are still very hot. The most prolific are marked with ** and the ones that still produce relatively large fruit despite the heat are marked with *. Different years one will do better than the others but for me the most consistent producers during the hot months are Pruden's Purple, IS, and Big Beef."
