Snowberries are not on the list of TSWV tomato varieties.
My question: has anyone seen TSWV disease in Snowberry tomatoes??
I've been getting my seeds each year from Reimer Seeds, but this year I plan to try saving them (hence my earlier questions over the past 24 hours re: saving seeds.

Snowberry was bred by Sahin Seeds in the Netherlands and I don't think they would gave introduced any tolerance to TSWV.
Over the years the folks who grow tomato plants, especially in the SE say that some years it's bad, other years none at all. I have several friends in NC and my own brother now lives there as well, and I'm wondering if it's just coincidence with regard to Snowberry and what you suggest as to tolerance.
But surely others will weigh in on your post as well.
