BER on Stupice?

Greatgardens · July 11, 2022

I haven't grown Stupice in more than five years. But I don't recall BER being an issue. I'm growing a single plant in an EarthBox, and I have lots of BER -- probably at least 10%, and it keeps on showing up on new fruit. The Early Girl in the EB next to it has zero BER. It is not new growing media. I added dolomite to the media at planting time (same as every year). The plant has never, ever been short of water since setting it out. This is the Stupice commonly available in the U.S. from Tomato Growers Supply. I also have a tiny amount of BER on Orange Wellington, but nothing like the Stupice.

Has anyone else had this experience with Stupice, especially if grown in a container?
