Notes

'Estiva' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Estiva') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It takes 70 days to reach maturity, and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for rabbits.

Pairs well with Teddy dill, Alpha calendula, and Itachi cucumber.
