Armenian is one that I have grown that tasted like a peach. I actually did a double take when I bit into it. The next year it just tasted like a tomato.

IMO Oaxaca Jewel PL is 'peachy'. At least iirc. Don't think I even tasted one last year.

I think there are lots of sweet and fruity tomatoes you may enjoy. Dagma's perfection is wonderful for example and a good example of the many sweetly fruity bicolour tomatoes. My suggestion is to explore the bicolours.

Agree with Karen that the bicolors are most likely to have the mellow fruity flavors, though maybe not exactly peach. I once had a Yellow Brandywine that had a hint of cantaloupe. Unfortunately I was not into saving seeds at the time, and later plants did not repeat the nuance.

And Green Zebra was like kiwi fruit for me Why grow tomatoes that taste like, um, plain tomatoes, if one can have all these exotic flavors? Same with wine/ grapes... detecting nuances of chocolate, coffee, strawberries, fruits, even burnt rubber (soil of South Africa..).. No expert even mentions that wine tastes like grapes |

Dwarf Mr. Snow was the most fruit like tasting tomato I have ever eaten. Dense, fruity, sweet, and kinda melts in the mouth. Now I am craving one and you have made me get upset...

Maybe if I just didn't tell people Jade Beauty was a tomato, I could sell them. I need to make up some ridiculous story about it being some kind of tropical fruit.
