    Rubee Dawn is advertised as a large salad type round red with an exceptional disease package. Unfortunately, that disease package does not include Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and the plants are quickly dying. I am getting a handful of small tomatoes on dying plants. It has a quite early DTM and did ripen with the cherry/grape types. Good flavor, just wish it was resistant to TSWV
