For African growers, what varieties do you recommend? - Page 2

JLJ,

I haven't grown Marglobe. I seem to have a reluctance to grow older commercial varieties. In some part of my brain, I have an unsubstantiated belief that older, commercial varieties probably lack some traits that newer varieties have. I've proven myself wrong on many occasions. After reading your well presented thoughts, I probably will try it in the future.

After rereading this thread, it made me think of a list I had made for earlier DTM tomatoes.

Hybrid: Celebrity 65 DTM, DET, and resistant to V, F, and TMV

Heirloom: Rutgers 72 DTM, DET, resistant to V, F, and ASC
