Overview
Fireworks is an early heirloom slicer that gets round red tomatoes onto the table well before the main crop. The fruit is about 2 1/2 inches across and weighs roughly 8 to 12 ounces, with a small pointed tip at the blossom end that makes it easy to recognize. Plants are indeterminate, so they keep growing and producing after the first flush; stake them or run them up a cage. A good pick for gardeners in short-season areas who still want a full-size tomato.
