Default Can you identify this Cherry Tomato?

I wasn't going to plant any Cherry Tomato's, but I had picked up a 20 cent pack of seeds, and I went ahead and planted them.

Now that I have plants, I started wondering what they are, but the package does not list a variety. The back of the pack says Ferry Morse.

Tatiana's tomato base has a Red Cherry Large listed.

No way can you tell what it is unless you get hold of them and ask.
More than likely a hybrid like sweet 100.

You couldn't tell from the picture on the packet, but I bet it's Large Red Cherry (or Red Cherry Large as Tatiana has it listed), an heirloom that is very common in the budget seed racks. I've grown it the last few years, a good tomato if you're not expecting sugary sweetness.

It does say Red Cherry Large, I just didn't realize that was a variety name.

I thought it might be Sweet 100 OP
