Fireworks Heirloom Tomatoes

[TomatoGirl]

Has anyone else grown this variety?
This is my 3rd year growing them, and I have never tasted a better tomato. Beautiful to look at, sweet, tasty..........ticks all my boxes. My friend had stomach cancer and cannot tolerate the acidity of tomatoes, but he has no trouble eating these.
Just love them!!

Very nice indeed.

[TomatoGirl]

Thank you. Definitely the prettiest tomato I grow and my all time favourite!!

GORGEOUS! I might have this variety but haven't grown it. There are two with similar names and I can't remember which one I have.

I've seen photos of fireworks with no yellow either. So not sure which is the true fireworks, but I highly recommend growing these. The flavour is to die for. Makes amazing bruschetta!!!

That is a beautiful tomato.
Are you sure that's Fireworks, I just searched and it has a different description. Where did you get the seeds?

Here's what I found http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Fireworks

I got them from an eBay seed seller in the U.S.
I bought about 10 different heirloom varieties from him. All of them have been what they were supposed to be. To be honest, the name makes more sense with the yellow on it, as it really does look like an exploding firework.
Whatever it is, it's flipping delicious and definitely heirloom. I will continue to grow these every year.

Sorry. Messed up the reply.

[TomatoGirl]

This is what I have.

They are German. The German name is Feuerwerk which translates in to Firework.
If you Google Feuerwerk you will see the yellow and red. Maybe they are two different varieties?

I found it on Tatiannas site, she has little info about them. I might have to try some of those next year. I like growing old types, sometimes you find a Gem you like more than others.

Oh good. I think there must be 2 varieties. Possibly the one without the yellow is a hybrid from this original feuerwerk, as it seems to be a pretty old variety.
Definitely try them. I guarantee you wont regret it. These are tomatoes to eat raw, even though they do make wonderful sauce. I can eat them with just a little sea salt on them. I can't wait for some fruit now. I had a bit of a set back as you know, but they are all budding or blooming currently. I normally have fruit in July from these. They are the first to fruit normally. This year the black cherries have them beat, so I'll be getting those first.

TomatoGirl: can you post your location? I'm interested to know what your growing conditions are like where you live to see if I can grow it, because, thanks to you, I could water it with my drool alone...

[TomatoGirl]

I am in Ontario Canada. And If I can grow them here, you have to be able to grow them in Cali!!
Sorry about the drool lol

man, what a beauty

from your description, it sounds almost like a bi-color kelloggs breakfast tomato....they are also very low on acid, so can be eaten by folks who are sensitive

i got to see if i can get some for next year....
