Panzer
Panzer - a new hybrid from Harris-Moran, I used it in crosses this year because of its best in class multiple disease resistance - Resistant to Leaf mold fulva (1-5), Fusarium wilt (1-3), Verticillium wilt, TMV (0), ToMV (0-2), Tomato spotted wilt virus (T0) and intermediate resistance to Root knot nematode and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus. The fruit is picture perfect, and hard as a rock. I'll taste next week, but expectations are low. As a parent though, I think it may be excellent.

Haha, good name for a tomato that is built like a tank. Pretty much bulletproof I would expect.

Resistance to leaf mold is a new thing, and for greenhouse growers like myself, well worth it!
Although I cringe at the thought of how many 'rocks' I would have to grow before I got a nice tasting and perfect textured tomato WITH the fulvia resistance still in play. Frogsleap, if you use Panzer to breed, I'd certainly be willing to test some offspring for the leaf mold resistance - it's a big problem here whenever we have a normal hot humid July. |
