PlantFiles: Tomato
Lycopersicon lycopersicum 'Fireworks'

This is my first year growing Fireworks, and I'm not super impressed. Although this is supposed to be an early season tomato, my plant didn't start producing until mid-late season. The tomatoes are small to medium sized and the flavor is average. I've had problems with foliage disease, however the plant is prolific.

Update 9/27/08: flavor has improved as the season has progressed. Although plant has some foliage disease, it is continuing to crank out a lot of decent tomatoes. This is an O.K. tomato after all, but just don't expect it to be early.

Prolific is an understatement for this plant. I have so many tomatoes on each plant that I had to buy individual stakes for each shoot just to support them. Easry to grow and disease resistant. Expect smallish to medium tomatoes. The taste of these are on the bland side, but good for pickling given the size.

Prolific and early. The flavor was not remarkable but the plant did produce so heavily I had to support the tomato clusters.

Touted for its size and "excellent flavor" according to the vendor. Not that big and not that tasty in my opinion. A very nondescript tomato.

A 60 day round red (6-8 ounces), indeterminate.
