What are sweetest tomatoes? - Page 2

tomatoguy · April 25, 2013

I prefer a tart tomato but I had some neighbors who liked the sweet ones, so I grew some for them. Their favorites were Mr. Stripey and Granny Cantrell's German Red. German Queen is another very sweet tomato, at least when I have grown them.

i tried mr stripey last season and was not a fan. i would try something like virginia sweets if i was looking at a bi color. mr stripey came on very late compared to cherokee purple, a large pink (unknown variety-seed mix up), and dixiewine which were all grown to 2 stems in containers. productivity was also lowest of the 4

Yeah Bonnie's (the national nursery that supplies Lowe's, Wallyworld, and Home Depot with all their plants, some of which are even disease-free

) has Sungold, Sunsugar, and Black Cherry this year. I was surprised.

I only bought them because I checked 4 local nurseries and their selection was pretty sad.

Sunsugar is pretty sweet. I actually liked it better than Sungold,
but I have only grown each 1 time, in different years, so different
weather.

The sweetest tomatoes I ever tasted were both F2s of crosses,
one Stupice x unknown and one Dice's Mystery Black x Chernomor RL.
(Dice's Mystery Black is pretty sweet. So is Margaret Curtain, and
Russian Red is a sweet-fruited dwarf type plant.)

Sun gold is the sweetest tomato Ive ever tasted. Isis Candy comes close. Ive had some very sweet Great white and Aranas Noir (sp?) as well.

Well the sweetest for me have been New Big Dwarf, Aunt Gertie's Gold, and Virginia Sweets.
