| We had a very wet year and I was hit hard with diseases. One of which was Fusarium Wilt. What tomatoes are best to grow that are most resistant to this? I prefer heirloom so I can save some seeds. Especially like the reds.Juicy and sweet. Tammy |

| Wilt resistance is bred into - hybridized - tomato varieties. But even then it isn't a total resistance to the various strains. There are a number of hybrid varieties that list F resistance so just look for the VF or FF (2 strains) tag on the variety when buying seeds. Parks Whopper Improved lists resistance to 2 strains of fusarium, Big Beef and Celebrity are two of the most commonly grown resistant varieties. Jet Star VF, Ace VF, Supersonic VF, etc. If heirlooms are what you want then you likely need to look into grafted stock. Dave |
