I thought Porter's Dark Cherry looked much like Amish Salad in the harvest photo. Wonder how plant growth compares with those two??

Patty, I'm not sure what harvest picture you're referring to although I can speak to Amish Salad which is a variety I introduced, seeds from John Adams.

It's pink, a nice medium pink but the picture in my book shows it as being red. That was a photo glitch, for it really really is pink. Taste is mild and fruits hang on the vine forever, which is a plus for Market Gardeners, I suppose.

I haven't grown Porter, but Amish Salad is indet, large plant, small fruits growing in clusters of about 6 and resembles so called grape tomatoes, almost, in shape.

For great tasting cherries I like:

Galina's Yellow
Camp Joy, aka Chadwick's Cherry
Mini Orange
Pink Ping Pong ( a larger type cherry)
Black Cherry
Green Grape
Mirabelle ( yellow)
Dr Carolyn, ( OK, OK, but I like it and it doesn't split as easily as so many others of that coloration)

...off the top of my head without thinking too much, which I hate to do, yes that's true, for today is not a thinking day.
