I grew Plum Regal this year which is claimed to have " intermediate resistance to early blight."
Based on my single observation this year (and previous as well), I would say this claim is accurate. While all other varieties in the garden were going down from early blight & septoria, this one kept growing/producing strong.
However, once blight and septoria did show up on Plum Regal, it went down hard and fast.
This seems like a possible case of resistance to early blight but little tolerance of it according to the above definitions.
Thoughts?
