Esterina was a disappointment to me - until I tasted it. The seeds germinated into wimpy, thin seedlings. It never took off fast like most of my tomatoes. It has remained a smaller, not husky plant. Right now (mid-Sept in 6a), it is about 7 feet tall, but thin. It is the least husky of any tomato that I currently grow. I only have one plant this year, so it may not be totally typical. Next year, I will grow more because of the great taste, but I will plant them closer together than normal.
