What Tropical Fruit Trees are susceptible to Verticillium wilt

[Mr. Clean]

I have some tomato plants that I would like to plant in-ground and I am trying to figure out the proper location.  Apparently Tomatoes are carriers of Verticillium wilt and Mango Trees are susceptible to Verticillium Wilt.  What other tropical fruit trees are susceptible to Verticillium Wilt.  Thanks.

I never heard of this disease and I have never planted a mango where there were once tomatoes growing.  Seems it would be fairly easy to make the plantings separate as between mangoes and tomatoes. I do have some wild tomatoes growing in my yard from my mulch pile where I throw vegetable matter unused in the house that included tomato seeds. I wonder how prevalent this disease really is. I found a couple of articles.

Harry,

Thanks.  I had a small tomato garden.  During the summer, the bugs consumed the tomatoes, so I planted a Lychee at the site.  It died.  I planted a mango there afterwards; it has been just limping along (compared to my other mangos) for the last year or so.  So I think there is something to the Verticillium wilt.

Did your tomato plants have Verticillium wilt?

Looks as if avocado are susceptible to it also.

Never had any testing done.  My understanding is that Verticillium Wilt occurs naturally in the soil, but seems to thrive when tomatoes are planted.
