I've been growing Supersweet 100s forever and would like to try something that might be sweeter and more prolific.

To my knowledge the most prolific sweet red cherries are either sweet million and super sweet 100.

Sungold Sweet 100s Isis Candy Black Cherry Little Lucky Rose Quartz Jaune Flamme (Kind of oval shaped. Perhaps a bit big to be called a Cherry, but produces like it was a cherry.) Green Zebra (Also a bit big to be a cherry, but definitely elongated/oval and quite productive.) This post was edited by fcivish on Thu, Jun 20, 13 at 1:46

I love cherry tomatoes! I try one or two new ones each year, and if they didn't take so long to pick I'd consider growing a garden of only cherry tomatoes. So far my favorites are Black Cherry -- great taste, productive but I like them so much I don't usually have many to share! Tommy Toe -- very prolific and my favorite red; tastes great at different stages of ripeness, I liked it better than any other red *tomatoes* I grew at the same time, and it produced until the first big frost (but different websites call it an Ozark heirloom and an Australian heirloom!) Galina's and Sun Sugar -- I grew both of these one year, and the taste was very close; sweet and prolific, and I like them better than Sungold (I've been growing Sungold in alternate years; I miss the fruitiness when I'm not growing it, but when I have a surfeit of Sungolds, I get tired of them and begin to detect an "off" taste) This year I've finally tried wintersowing outdoors and it works! so I'm planning to save lots of seeds. I'm growing Black Cherry, Camp Joy, Sun Sugar, a red grape, and (if it recuperates from being out in the cold one night without protection, or if I can find a replacement) Koralik.

And who was the person who introduced Druzba in the US? Yes, me, read thelink below and it gets another vote from me as well. ( smile) But there are others , round red ones only now, that I like and they might include: Bulgarian Triumph Red Brandywine, only the true RL one Break O Day Lida Ukranian Red Barn ( flat globe) Bulgarian #7 ...... to name just a few and round of any color tend to have mid sized fruits, not as large as beefseak varieties. You can find info about all the OP ones that folks mention at Tatiana's superb website if you don't know them where she has traits of the varieties, comments from others, pictures, seed sources and histories when known; http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Main_Page Carolyn Here is a link that might be useful: Druzba

Favorite Red Cherry Tomato?
Q

tarolli -- Why not start another thread and let us know what tastes good to you. It doesn't have to be a cherry tomato. Sweet Million used to be one of my favourites and I would say that Gardener's Delight and the Sweet 100's taste similar. However, I'm looking for a spectacular taste in a cherry tomato. Perhaps you prefer the acidic ones, in which case Juliet F1 would be a good choice. Linda

I second Sweet Baby Girl.... I grew it this summer and was tired of picking all the fruits a single plant had produced... so I left it to raccoons to feast on, but they got tired of it too. :)

My favorite has no name. It is bigger than cherry, 2 -3 of them weigh an ounce.
I bought the fruits from Trader Joes (as heirloom) and planted the seeds in 2014. What I like about is bigger size, less prone to cracking and grows on a small compact plant.
I grew some super 100s 2 years ago. It was ok. But more than half the fruits in a cluster were just too tiny.

You are all going to laugh at me. I keep my seeds carefully separated into numbered snap-cap sealed plastic medical vials identified with numbers that match a list I keep with them, in the basement refrigerator.

The red cherry tomatoes I grew and enjoyed last year are in MY records as "Sungold". LOL!

They are probably Sweet Million, but it just goes to show how errors creep in to the best record-keeping...

I vote for Sweet Million!

Too funny that the raccoons got tired of eating Sweet Baby Girl! I haven't tried that one.

Another red one in cherry category that I will plant, is also from a store bought that resembles mini Roma. It is actually neither a real cherry or grape type. I love its taste. Right now (winter !) that is the only tomato variety that I buy from store. One more thing about it is that it lasts for a week or two.
It is sold at Kroger/QFC/Fred Meyers chain.

Tommy Toe is my favorite red Cherry. They are on the larger side for being a Cherry tomato. They taste more like an old fashioned red beefsteak tomato than a cherry. They are sweet but also have a good amount of "bite" or acidic taste.That is the best way I can describe the flavor. If you are looking for sweet taste without the acidic flavor then these aren't the tomatoes for you. They are very prolific. I have been eating Tommy Toe tomatoes since I was a little girl, my grandma always grew them and now I grow them.
