Some observations.

Black Cherry have superb tolerance, they have some leaf infection but no stem or fruit, their growth has not been checked and are still pumping out flawless fruit.

Japanese Black Trifel has no infection at all. I swear potato leaved cultivars are naturally resistant.

Orange Banana is very susceptible to fruit infection.

I find Orange Banana susceptible but only on the foliage... my black cherry get it on the foliage too but laugh it off...  :)

Quite heroic performance really. Tough buggers, I snapped one of mine in half and stuck it back together with gaffer tape. It's still growing and producing despite the damage AND blight.

I broke one of my Black Cherry seedlings in half while it was still in the pot.  Stuck the stem of the top half into the pot beside the stump and got 2 healthy plants!

I also broke the stem of a Jack Be Little pumpkin almost all the way through when planting out so I put an elastoplast around the break and covered it with a cloche to stop the wind moving it around until it 'healed'.  I've got pumpkins on it!

It's hard to kill them, isn't it!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who manages to break things, this year it's been tomato and pumpkin plants! And all survived - amazing :D .
The Black Cherry variety does sound tempting....

If you want to try them pm me I've got plenty of seeds...  :)

ooooo tempting!!!

Black cherry are my all time favourite. Nicer than gardeners delight..and just as easy to grow. I dont think you get as many toms though.

Harvest home and no blight-one can get fed up of tomatoes, I was making another batch of soup at 07.00hrs this morning :)

Slightly less prolific that Gardener's delight, but they split less and taste so much better.
