Cherry tomato poll?

Master Shake · December 16, 2019

I just wanted to do a poll to see which cherry tomatoes are the tastiest, just for fun (you can choose more than one).

You can add why you prefer a certain variety and why as well if you feel like it.
or
Add some different stand out varieties in the replies.

Thanks.

While somewhere between a cherry and saladette, my new favorite is Chadwick's. It's big tomato flavor in a small package, stayed healthy and very productive right through the season, and tomatoes were more rich/old fashioned than sweet.

It did just as well as Sungold this past summer which was a great sweet/snacking tomato, though many were put to use in a Pasta with Burst Cherry Tomato Sauce recipe...absolutely sublime!

Thanks

To be honest, growing up i never liked fresh tomatoes, just sauces and sun dried ones, but since i started growing them i have definitely come around.

I do prefer the more savoury (?) type of varieties rather than the sweet fruity ones personally, but i don't mind sweet ones.

My favorite is still Carbon Copy.

Sungold consistently tastes good (once fully ripe). However, I much prefer Maglia Rosa and Blush (which are elongated cherries).

Cherry tomatoes are now officially the thing of the past; my wife has indicated I need not include them in next year's plan. She always wanted cherries for salads, but has decided cut up big tomatoes are better than the small ones. If a cherry tomato ever makes it into the garden it will be Black Cherry.

My mom's favorite is Dr. Carolyn. I have also liked Wild Tiger, an almost unknown one from J&LGardens, and Maglia Rosa.

I tried Black Cherry and Reisentraube from the list.

I voted for Reisentraube as Black Cherry's taste takes a big hit at the end of the season.

Reisentraube is a great producer, does not crack and keeps the taste together when the weather starts to change.

At least that's my experience

I really liked Lollipop, a flavorful bright yellow cherry. Would have grown some this year except that I was going with a yellow micro (Jochalos).

Gardenboy · December 16, 2019

Garnet cherry is also a great tomato. Great tomato taste and production is great as well.

NarnianGarden · December 16, 2019

Voting for Dr Carolyn and Pink Tiger..

Goodloe · December 16, 2019

My 2 choices sound pretty boring compared to those on the list, but I really like Lg Red Cherry and Snow White...

If the labor of cutting cherries is an issue, do the "Rachael Ray" method of slicing them.

How many times can I vote for SunGold?

I've only grown four of those. I still grow Sungold, but would slap Reisentraube seeds out of someone's hand before they touched the starting mix!
