Default Plants NOT affected by Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus

Alright, this year was bad. Seems alot of people, like me, got hit hard with the dreaded spotted wilt virus.

What is interesting is that I all my plants where touching other, yet not all got the virus. I am interested in which plants survived in your garden, if it was hit by TSWV.

In mine the
Japanese Oxheart,
SFT,
Momotoro,
Black From Tula
Siberia (not Siberian)
Cherokee Purple all did well.


Brandywine (4 fruits before RIP),
Dr. Caroyln (0 fruits before RIP),
Mariannes Peace (10 fruits before RIP),
Stump of the World (12 fruits before RIP)
Persimmon (3 fruits before RIP)
not so good they all shriveled up and died.

So maybe we can see if certain varieties are more resistant?

EDIT NOTE: Cherokee Purple DID NOT do well, the plant was Grub's Mystery Green. CP and GMG shared the same box, CP is a nasty mess. GMG is quite healty.
