The 2 Esterina plants are in Root Pouches.
Having 2 Esterina plants provide way more tomatoes that you could possibly eat or give away.
I still will grow Esterina, SunGold, plus SunChocola, SunPeach in August.
Ideally, I would like to find a non-yellow Esterina-type plant. Hopefully the SunChocola and SunPeach will fit the bill.
Gardener - How does the F2 Esterina compare to the F1?

Barb, my Esterina F2's tastes very good, almost like F! fruits.
I have two plants : One has bigger tomatoes than the other. But the other one grows more tomatoes like sort of multi flora. And the color is more yellow gold as opposed to sungold which is orange-yellow when fully ripe.
BTW: I have not found any Sungold to crack. Maybe because I don't let them stay on the vine too long.
