Overview
Early Girl is the well-known early-season F1 hybrid, named to pair with Better Boy. Indeterminate vines produce crimson fruit of four to six ounces, firm and slightly flattened, with skin that resists blemishes. It shows some resistance to Verticillium and Fusarium races 1 and 2. First ripe fruit comes around 57 to 63 days from transplant, and the vine keeps going through the season if staked. A dependable choice where the summer is short or you simply want the first slicer of the year.
