I have grown both SunGold F1 and Sunsugar F1, not side-by-side, but alterating them every year - probably since mid-2000s.

I agree that SunSugar is less prone to cracking than Sungold (but it still cracks). The taste and the color I find identical, and I love the taste!

These days I grow either one under plastic cover, which reduces the probability of cracking - Sungold F1 cracks so badly after any rain here that it is almost impossible to get good quality fruit from the plant. In the rain (or high humidity) it cracks even under the cover, but not nearly as much as when grown in the open.

I am thinking that once I am out of my Sungold F1 seed, I will only be growing Sunsugar (which I buy in bulk from TGS every year).
