I don't know of any cherry or any other shape of tomatothat has what is called resistance to Septoria LeafSpot.

The operative word is tolerance,not resistance..That's a big difference.

Actually there was a small group here at Tville who volunteered to look into this several years ago and I know that Mark McCaslin and I think Bill Jeffers were part of this group.

Septoria Leaf Spot is fungal,so IMO the best way to go is to use products that can reduce the incidence and my choice would be Daconil,but I know others here use a few other products.
