Thanks, drew51.

I had two plants. One did OK, and tomatoes could be used for other purposes. Taste was like old fashion tomato flavor, a good balance of acid and sugar.The plants was supposed to yield large tomatoes, but most were rather small.
I also grew Costoluto di Parma, and those had better production. Overall I was not impressed with Fiorentino. I think it needs a warmer area to grow to full potential.
