estiva f1 expectations vs big beef?

JRinPA · May 13, 2015

Hey all,

I was surprised when I did a search on here for Estiva it returned a measly 4 hits!? Does anyone grow this and how do they compare to big beef for taste/productivity?

I got a bunch of plants from a farmer friend the other day. He just planted out this week. Among his leftover seedlings were 9 big beef, a few brandywine, some that got mixed up so unknown, and a flat and half of estiva - I guess about 35 estiva plants. I can't plant them all myself but can rehome some to a couple gardens so I gratefully accepted them all rather than have them composted.

What should I expect from this Estiva? The price was very nice.

EDIT: make that ~75 Estiva. The flats are 5x10.
