Mazarini

I'd like to hear opinions on this variety; especially taste. I've got two plants of it in my garden, and the early fruit set has been one of the best(maybe the best, not counting cherries), of the over twenty varieties I'm growing. There is a good set of medium to large heart-shaped fruit on both plants. No ripe ones yet, but I expect some to start turning(ripening) soon. Some of my other hearts had few to no early fruit sets, possibly due to high heat.

I grew it this year for the first time. I got 9 tomatoes off of it before it died. Fairly good taste for a heart with few seeds and very dense texture. Once the heat got up down here it didn't fair too well. I had other hearts that produced much better in our high heat and humidity.

Low production in a bad weather year last year, but good flavor
nonetheless.

You won't be diappointed. Should do well in your neck-of-the-woods. Ami

Thanks for the replies. I'll try and post my thoughts on Mazarini after I get some ripe ones.
