Sorry Carolyn, I didn't bother to look it up before I posted the wrong spelling for the alt name.
In winter they may have decent taste. Hubby has bought them several times and likes them. But in summer they just don't compare to heirloom brown / black / purple varieties like Cherokee Purple or Carbon.
We has a field day / tasting at my farm 3 years ago. There were at least a dozen varieties on the brown / black /purple table and I especially made sure the Rosso Bruno I grew were there. Even tho I'm not a big tomato eater, I tasted many on that table and the Rosso Bruno were almost tasteless compared to the others there. Very blah.
If you have limited growing area, you can find many better varieties to use your space on.
Carol
