Interesting. That makes me suspect that my wilt is not Fusarium then. It's pretty impressive that bacterial wilt or tomato spotted wilt haven't gotten any I suppose, (provided they were exposed to it). Part of my reason for starting this thread is sometimes I see posts asking for good varieties to grow when certain diseases are present. Sounds like SunGold does better than most.
