New Big Dwarf
Tastywine
Cherokee Tiger
Rosella Purple
Dwarf Sweet Sue
Tasmanian Chocolate
Rainbow Dwarf
Red Viper Dwarf
None of these survived to fruiting last year. I discovered last year the mite is a problem with all tomato plants here in the Bay Area, so this year I am prepared. But the dwarf plants seem to be hit harder, faster and struggle more with it, while the standard plants survive to produce fruit. Uluru Ochre, Dwarf Purple Heart, Lime Green Salad and Hahms Gelbe made it and fruited, as did Dw Arctic Rose after being overwintered.
I have had this experience with all dwarf plants the last three years.
This year I am growing all in containers (EBs or grow bags) with new soil. Nothing produced in ground at the community garden in 2017 - it was all completely wiped out. I was going to solarize but I think it would be better to sterilize the containers and start over.

What were some of the dwarfs (examples) that you had bad luck with the mites in your setting?
Just wondering...
