So I’ve got 58 varieties of cherry Tomatoes that I’ll be growing this year. Thanks to you, I’ve added Sugary and Juliette to that list. Hopefully they’ll arrive early so I can start them on time.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 I’ve been going with sweeter options lately. I love Isis Candy, Sungold. My partner loves Tomato Flavor, and watched your video with me. She’s excited to try these. Oh, and they came in on time 😅 Thanks for the content, keep it coming!
@@jameshynes2419 Hands down the best 3 cherry tomatoes that you can grow are Apero F1, Honeycomb F1 and Rosada. Both of those F1 cherry plums taste insane and are ridiculously productive. Apero F1 has unbelievable production and enormous trusses of sweet, plum cherries. My 3rd best tomato out of 48 different varieties last year. Honeycomb F1 is an upgraded version of Sungold. Very similar, extremely sweet, but more Honey-like tasting and no cracking either like Sungold. It has almost replaced the Sungold for me here. The only way you will get hold of Rosada seed is via private sellers in the UK as the line got discontinued or lost. These are now growing at F2 or F3 stage for us and are showing mixtures of red and orange tomatoes, depending on the plant. Either way the Rosada are the sweetest tomatoes I have ever tasted. Other stand out varieties last season were Brown Derby by Elser Farms and Cornue Des Andes.
I grew Yellow Pear it took up too much space and the fruit took to long to ripen and were rather bland. I'm thinking about growing Sunsugar this year because of its sweetness and crack resistance. Have you tried Black Cherry tomato? I have a acidic cherry tomato that came from a plant that I bought that was supposed to be Yellow Pear and unfortunately, it keeps producing volunteers that keep coming back. Thanks for making this video!
That is one of the drawbacks to the Yellow Pear , is its size. You definitely need to make sure you have room for it to grow. You should really like Sunsugar, that is one I have to plant each year....my wife makes me! I have not grown Black Cherry yet, it is on my list to try. Maybe I will have to grow it this year.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 I’ve read good things about SS and BC, so thought I’d give them a try. I was originally going to try Sungold, but read it’s prone to splitting. Cheers!
This year I’m trying a new cherry called Sakura. I mostly grow plum tomatoes, so we can have our own tomato passata for the year, but my wife likes me to grow a couple of cherry tomatoes too!
I'm growing Sun Sugar for the first time this year. So far, my absolute favorite tomato is Sun Gold! I have heard similar claims to yours about Sun Sugar, which is why I decided to grow both this year. I am very eager to do a taste test of the both of them. I grew yellow pear last year and did not like them. I thought they had no taste.
Thanks for watching and commenting. It will be fun to hear about your taste test. Fingers crossed. And it's funny to hear your thoughts about Yellow Pear. I have come to the conclusion that one either likes them or hates them.
I grew Sun Gold, Sun Sugar and Honeycomb F1 side by side last season. All very similar with the latter two being derived from the original Sun gold. I have to say that Honeycomb F1 came out on top. It had the tastiest tomatoes with the least amount of cracking, although it wasn't quite as productive as the original Sun gold. The only thing that Sun Sugar had going for it was less cracking than Sungold, but it could not compete with Honeycomb F1 for both taste and resistance to cracking. I have therefore dropped Sun Sugar as the taste did not live up to the Sun Gold's reputation. This year I am growing 2 Honeycomb plants and 1 Sun Gold after last years results.
Totally went with your recommendation on Sun Sugars this year! My Chocolate Sprinkles really laid down on me last season. I hope for better luck this year! Hedged my bet with some Sugary and Sweet Millions though. Can't be to careful!
Yes. Most Cherry tomatoes will need some sort of support. Also look for tomatoes that have indeterminate in their description. I explain this in my other video about determinate and indeterminate tomatoes . Thanks for watching
German lunchbox. I call it thbeefsteak cherry tomatoe. Its both seedy & paste. Too many cherries taste like u squeezed a lemon in your salad. Its anniying i now know why Italians use thbland Grappoli as tonato sauce variety. When u add salt it comes alive. Lunchbox deeper better flavor i think tho but u must always couple with a wild cherry like coyote or matts. .
It would vary on the tomato. Determinate tomatoes will produce usually one flush of fruit, and then be done. So a season. Outdoors. An indeterminate tomato grown, indoors, usually in a controlled environment, such as a greenhouse, can live up to 2 to 3 years. But if grown outdoors, there again, one season.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 Thank you so much. This is so interesting! Yesterday was the first time I bought 2 tomato plants - Little Bing Cherry Tomatoes and Beefsteak Tomatoes. What are these and where should I plan them, indoor or outdoor? I am in Zone 5 with a short growing season and a lot of snow.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 Thank you so much. I will plant them outside in a week's time, when it it gets warmer. I am still getting snow the past couple of days (3-inches).
Sun Sugar's don't taste as good as Sun Gold in my experience, despite less cracking. A superior alternative is the new Honeycomb F1 variety that came out a year or two ago. It tastes better than both Sun Sugar and Sun Gold and has less cracking than both. It has completely replaced Sun Sugar for me here. Slightly creamier coloured cherry tomatoes as well. Also Super Sweet 100 is incredibly overrated. It has performed really poorly in recent years up against newer superior releases such as Apero F1, Honeycomb F1, Limoncito F1 etc. The 2015 varieties of choice cannot compete with the 2022-23 varieties available now.
Yellow Pear? Sun Sugar, yes! Sun Gold does crack but delicious. Sweet 100, Sun Peach, Black Cherry and Isis Candy are all delicious.
Sun Peach sounds intriguing. I am growing Black Cherry and Sun Sugar (have to plant every year) this year. Thanks for sharing and watching.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 Sun peach are my go to and everyone we share them with they rant and rave over them. So very prolific!
@@SuccessfulGardens1 would be great if you could include Brix values when discussing sweet varieties.
I heard sun peach and isis candy and black cherry are great.
So I’ve got 58 varieties of cherry Tomatoes that I’ll be growing this year. Thanks to you, I’ve added Sugary and Juliette to that list. Hopefully they’ll arrive early so I can start them on time.
That is a lot of cherry tomatoes. You shouldn't have any trouble getting them to grow in time. Do you have a favorite variety?.

@@petyrbaelish1718 thanks for the tips! I’m about to go try and find these now! 😁

Nothing beats Sun Gold for flavor but they do crack easily.

So much pressure! I bet you won't be dissatisfied. Good Luck!
So many good varieties I never heard! 👍
And there are a lot more out there too.
good job very nice keep it up 🌹
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Can you grow these on a trellis, if not which tomatoes can you grow on a trellis?
Yes. Most Cherry tomatoes will need some sort of support. Also look for tomatoes that have indeterminate in their description. I explain this in my other video about determinate and indeterminate tomatoes .

Thanks for your comments, and your insights. I am always looking gorgeous new varieties to grow. I'll have to look for German Lunchbox.
What is the life span of the tomato plant?
It would vary on the tomato. Determinate tomatoes will produce usually one flush of fruit, and then be done. So a season. Outdoors.

@@yannip2083 living in Zone 5 should allow you ample time to harvest tomatoes planting them outside.
They will do best when planting them in full sun.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 Thank you so much.
I will plant them outside in a week's time, when it it gets warmer. I am still getting snow the past couple of days (3-inches).
You can take cuttings of them and overwinter them to grow next season.
I want to grow a ☀ sugar tomato and a sweet 🍒 100 tomato ☺

You don't store tomatoes in the fridge...!
