Husky Cherry Tomato opinion

We were disappointed in the Husky Cherry tomato. Only planted one plant, thankfully, because although it started out good and produced several large cherry tomatoes, it didn't hold up well at all. The leaves and branches turned brown and rotted off and we ended up cutting the plant down to almost the base of the plant. No new branches as yet.

We don't think it was due to too much rain, not enough rain, lack of proper nutrients, etc because a Jet Star right next to it is healthy and still putting out good tomatoes. In short, we won't plant Husky Cherry again. Next year, it will probably be more Jet Star for us. Wonder if anyone else had this problem?

I have a husky red. I don't know it is cherry type. Some of the fruits are almost 4 oz.

Mine is compact, planted in a pot. So far I have picked a few and there are half dozen or so still green ones.

I did not have any foliage issue, except some lower leaves rolling like tacos. I think it was because of too much water.

Anyway, all in all not a remarkable variety. But since it is compact, I might grow one plant next year.

I knew there were already several threads here about this variety since I know I posted in some of them.

So below I've linked to that search here and you'll see several theads just about this variety and also other comments in man yother threads where this kind of variety is grown.

Hope that helps,

Carolyn
