Quite a coincidence
Carolyn,
Thanks for the reply. Admittedly I rarely grow more than 2 dozen tomato plants, but for the last 5 years all of the TSWV resistant plants I've grown have survived until our November frosts, and only a very few non-resistant ones have lasted beyond September. .......Except Snowberries. This year my six Snowberry plants are at least 8 feet tall and producing bodaciously. And I've lost 4 of my non-resistant ones in an adjacent row already. I've yet to lose a Snowberry to TSWV or any other diseases even though they've been amongst the Hillbilly's, Arkansas Traveler's, Brandywine's, Big Boys', Whoppers, etc over the years. This is not a scientifically significent study in methodology or numbers. And I know that Snowberrys are a Europe originated variety.
Hence my question: Has anyone lost a Snowberry plant to TSWV disease?
We may have a hidden resistant variety which produces abundantly a delicious cherry tomato.
BTW, my mainstay is the Bolseno from Johnny's Seeds.
