Every year the hardiest tomatoes are usually different from the year before. Conditions make a lot of difference between varieties and of course most seasons are very different in rainfall, disease pressure, insect pressure, temperatures, wind, and humidity levels. I don't grow any cherries anymore or any really small varieties since even with large varieties I get plenty of small ones from them near the end of the plants life.
Out of twenty plants set out at the end of March I still have a few still producing nice sized fruit on really long old vines. The ones that are producing the most and biggest fruits are Arkansas Traveler, Red Barn, German Johnson PL, Giant Belgium and Kentucky Wonder RL. I'm sure next year some of these will not be on the list and others will.
