'Dwarf Kelly Green' also seems to be quite disease tolerant
'Dwarf Sweet Sue' seems to be quite disease tolerant
Summer Sunrise' plants seem to be quite disease tolerant
Mike at Victory seeds trials all varieties before he even lists them for sale.

So when he lists quite disease tolerant , no such thing as resistance,it seems to me that Mike is referring only to the year he trialed a specific variety.

Commercial seed sites such as Mike's,save LOTS of seeds of any variety the first time grown so they have several years worth of seeds available and store those seeds under conditions where they will lose the least viability.
