I have a tomato that was labeled as a Cherokee Purple that is turning out to be a cherry variety. My 2 year old daughter was bad about moving the label sticks around while the tomatoes were in their seedling flats.

The cherry varieties we also started were Black Cherry, Chocolate Cherry, Hartmans Yellow, Grappoli D Iverno, and Isis Candy. Does this look like one of these?

The one in the picture seems to turning yellow, So probably not a black or brown cherry, me thinks.

I can't get a good idea as to size or shape or even color right now, but I have grown all that you mention, and would go with Hartman's Yellow if it weren't for the fact that yours seems larger than that, but Tania says faint stripes, but I grew it so long ago I can't remember if it did have stripes, and I assume that would be on unripe fruits since fully ripe it's yellow,

Maybe best to let it ripen up a bit but I doubt it's not the two red ones you are growing, nor Isis Candy, nor the dark colored ones.

When I was transplanting hundreds of varieties at my farmer friends greenhouse his kids thought it was great fun to not just switch labels, for some they just took the labels, so I was faced with your same problem after the plants were set out and ID's were needed.

The size does look almost dead on after viewing the Hartmans Yellow on Tatianas page. I guess I will just have to be patient to verify everything for sure. I figured you would give me a pretty good idea though.

Thank you
