I grew these here in Moultrie, Ga, this year along with several other varieties. I had a couple of others that I was really excited about but to my surprise, the Florida 91 performed and produced way above all others. We've had scorching heat and almost no rain yet these kept setting fruit and producing beautiful, delicious tomatoes. Next spring these may be the only variety I grow.
Houston Texas - These are softball size tomatos that continue to produce. Using a shade cloth to keep them out of the afternoon sun will keep them blooming and producting
Planted 6 seeds, 4 germinated,waiting for true leaves,up pot . Hope to have 'em in the garden bed 1st September? I'm new to FL.
So southern gardening is new to me.
In all fairness, reviews should be done 90 days on or so. Any way so far so good 👍.
From the Houston, Texas area. I bought the Florida 91 seeds from Hoss seeds in 2023 & tried growing them for a fall crop that year. The plant growth was vigorous but the blossoms dropped for some reason. I tried again this year as a spring crop by transplanting my seedling into the garden on Feb 29, plant growth was vigorous but not as extensive as a Roma & and other determinate heirlooms planted in the same bed. The fruiting was great, averaging about 12 ounces each, nicely round, bearing about 12 tomatoes on the plant. The skin did not crack & the plants stayed very healthy. It’s a very great tasting slicker. However, it took over 90 days from the date of transplant before I got ripe tomatoes. I plan to grow these tomatoes again. Very pleased.
I’m in 8B in SC and I found these tomatoes powered through our hottest days with minimal blossom drop. And they are producers! I might like them more than Bella Rosa and that is saying a lot!
