I never really paid attention to the infestation with certain varieties, but I will now.

Been years since I grew Celebrity but never noticed any inclination toward pests vs. any other variety. However an unhealthy plant of any variety is a definite attractant so perhaps it has a health issue.

Thanks for the check-ins.

riceke: please let me know if you notice any sort of pest pattern with your tomatoes. I'm just curious as they were all put in around the same time but at different growth stages.

Dave: The Big Boys are from seeds I collected a couple of years back and were the babies of the group and got caught in a surprise cold snap. They're doing fine although a little delayed. The Celebrity has a couple of fruit but is constantly under bug attack and you're right, it appears to be the least healthy of the group.

Any observations are really appreciated. Thanks y'all!

MKSinSA,

I grow Celebrity hybrid every year and have never experienced an insect attractive nature about the plants. W/O knowing what insects you're plaqued with, I would do a NEEM spray, (or Spinosad) like captain-jacks. Then maybe they will confrom to your Big Boy F2's.

I do not remember ever encountering INSECT problem on ANY tomato plant.
