Cuostralee in the northeast?

Tomatovator · December 12, 2007

I bought seeds for the is variety last year but didn't plant any because I was concerned about part of Carolyn's description of it in her book, "It is somewhat susceptible to foliage diseases." I seem to have some level of early blight every year but with spraying and pruning have not lost an entire plant to it. Is Cuostralee worth a try in SW PA, Zone 6 or are there more tolerant varieties I should grow instead? How prone to disease is it? Carolyn, please respond if you happen to see this (others as well if you have tried this variety). Thanks.
