Saw These at Southwest Fertilizer yesterday. What can be said about them? Are they another Amelia?

I wonder if JD paid a lab to have them tested for resistance.

creister · March 19, 2009

Is that JD's Special C-Tex? Also, didn't JD pass away?

I dont believe it is JD's Special C-Tex. I think it is a hybrid

C-Tex Southern Heat Set is one of two varieties developed by J.D. Whittaker in Conroe, TX. I believe it is a hybrid. I've never grown it.

It's a red. Of course the key aspect is its TSWV tolerance. Not that this is an issue in Houston or Austin.

Is there any information from people growing it in a TSWV infested area?
