KARMA Pink and Sunrise Bumblebee were both great for me this past year.

The only cherry tomato I only grow is SunSugar. I'll be adding Sunchocola this year per Barb's recommendation (Thanks, Barb!).

Lizzano, by Territorial Seed.
Then Sungold and Super Sweet 100 by Burpee. 1/2/3 in that order. Chocolate cherry is a close forth. Our favorites. Lizzano wins the top spot on production and taste on a compact plant. Production is larger than Sun Gold and it is a close tie on flavor. SS100 and CC are well behind in both but also grown. |

Are you a little biased, Karen? ;-) I agree, KARMA Pink was a favorite last year.

Galina's. This year I think I'll also try Pink Princess based on the favorable reviews.

I grew KARMA pink last year. It was my favorite cherry. Then Ron’s Carbon Copy, Cherry Brownies, Lucky Tiger, Sungold to round out the top 5. I’m trying to stabilize a variant of a yellow grape that just might bump Sungold out of my top yellow spot.

a couple not mentioned that i like are,
alston everlasting a red cherry tomato, and second an unexpected cherry that came out of craigs garden back when he was offering seeds. it came to me as redfield beauty. it turned out to be a deep pink cherry tomato. i sent some of those seeds to ted pendergrass who introduced tidwell german if my memory is accurate. he saw something in it and was going to work with it. i last grew it in 2004 before rediscovering it last year. i planted those 14 yr old seeds, and had several germinate. i grew one out in a pot. the few tomatoes i sampled started out with a sweet taste then finished with an acid bite. i thought it was very good. i saved seeds from the rest of the fruit through out the summer. there weren't that many tomatoes on the plant. i am not sure where i am at stability wise because of the 14 year gap in growing it. i have grown it maybe three times from fresh seed before last year. each time i have had a similar sized fruit. i'll grow it again to see if the flavor is the same. for now i just call it red field cherry cross. keith |

KARMA Pink, Garnet . Seeds of both available right now free for the cost of an SASE. See my seed offer, and the True North seed offer.
Oh I almost forgot, Iva's Red Berry, and also available. |
