How productive is Neves Azorean Red? - Page 3

z_willus_d · April 29, 2013

NAR was a winner in my garden last year, and outlasted most of my other heirloom varieties. It produced large, well-shaped red beefsteak tomatoes (though somewhat more rounded than some beefsteaks). I thought the flavor was very good, though not the best I've had. I was certain to try and grow it again this year, until I got on this grafting kick. I'm hoping to produce some of the more esoteric/finicky or top notch tasting varieties, and so NAR didn't make the cut. If I go back to own-rooting, NAR will definitely be top of my lists. I should mention, it was a very heavy producer for me and out-lasted most if not all the other vines (rain, cold or shine).
