I’ve grown many cherry types and for me hands down the sungold is the best tasting and sweetest. My kids eat em like grapes.

I've never grown cherry tomatoes before (and I hadn't grown regular tomatoes in many, many years), but this year we tried a Sweet 100 plant. These tomatoes are absolutely *delicious*, although they're right up to the edge of my personal "too sweet". And I was amazed at how well the plant did, despite many weeks of neglect while life smacked us sideways this summer. It just keeps producing, and *producing*, and _producing_, despite irregular watering and no weeding at all! We're definitely going to grow this guy again, but now I know that it needs a whole trellis just for itself. It just laughed at the tomato cage my MiL gave me for it...

Sun sugar is my favorite too! I growed super sweet 100, sun sugar, and sweet million. Sun sugar is definitely the winner. It’s the sweetest, and another winning point is its thin skin. Sweet million is almost as good as sun sugar, maybe just the sun color makes me feel sun sugar is slightly sweeter. Super sweet 100 is surpassed by sweet million on every aspect, from flavor to skin thickness. No need to grow it in the future. Another very good one is black cherry, I didn’t find the seedling in my area this year, but next year I’ll definitely grow it.

After 35 years of growing I still like Super Sweet 100's as my fave cherry tomato. Obviously very subjective. I never trim these plants and let them grow up my 11 foot awning and use the same clamshell plastic clips I see you using. Great for salads and salsas.Here in 9b Sacramento mine will grow well into December and last year I overwintered the best one and it produced nicely this year.

Years ago I bought a packet of "Random cherry and grape tomato seeds." The only tomato seeds that grew were small and orange and delicious! I have no idea what they're called. I know they go overnight from green to orange, and if I wait until they turn red, they are too ripe, but I've never minded the secrecy. I've propagated that little, orange tomato ever since.

I have grown Sun Gold for about as long as it’s been available. Two years in a row I also grew Sun Sugar. I didn’t like the thickness of Sun Sugars skin. I grew them the second year to make sure the skin issue wasn’t a fluke. It wasn’t and haven’t grown them since. I do always grow SS100 and Sun Gold. rotating other varieties in and out just to try. Thank you for posting the great review.

@kansasgardener5844 11 ай бұрын

The sun sugar was bred to be as sweet or sweeter than sun gold with thicker skin so they don't split like sun gold do. Sun sugar and Cherry bomb are my 2 favorites but they both have thicker skin. No splitting.

Love your videos Scott! This year was my first time growing cherry tomatoes after watching your channel. I am in zone 3 up in Canada and started them early inside. The two I grew were the Super sweet 100 F1 VF and Grey's sweet Cherry. Both were fantastic but very different. Sweet 100 was for me a mild tomato taste and sweet, while the Grey's were a much more intense tomato taste and less sweet. My favorite were the Grey's. Looking forward to trying many more varieties next year.

It's always great to hear what other tomato enthusiasts love to grow and eat! So far my favorite cherry tomato is Sungold.

My favorite regular size tomato is Dad's Sunset with Green Zebra coming in second.

My sungold tasted nasty. I think I got some poor seed? I have the 100, Sunsugar, and Moby Grape as well. Those all taste good. On a side note, It is the Black Krim that is the only Beefsteak that has proven to be the most productive out of the 8 varieties I planted this year.

I only use that brand. Size of container and regular watering was the ticket for me. I love both varieties but Sungold was my fave of all cherries I've ever grown. This year I will have them again along with Black Cherry for first time. Excited for Black Cherry as everybody seems to rave about em. My cherry tomatoes are now growing to at least 8' tall and packed with fruit all season long. I gave hundreds away and had several hundreds frozen and still eating them in mid May.

I've grown Sun Sugar as well, and I didn't really notice a taste difference vs. Sun Gold, and the Sun Golds won me over with their sheer volume of production.

Living in the Pacific NW our growing season is short - as in it gets cool and wet come September, but freezes late. That and being further North than Colorado, it gets sunny later, and dark earlier. We are on the verge of not being warm enough to ripen the fruit. As such I have learned to stay away from the really big tomatoes so Early Girl, Roma, and the cherry and pear tomatoes are what I grow. But this year, someone swapped the tag on a plant container so the Roma turned out to be something else. Some years I get long vines of tomatoes, but not this year. Our very hot June rather stunted their growth.

I find most split after a rain or watering so after that happens I try to pick as many as I can before they split.

Which do you think are the best non-cherry and cherry tomatoes that are powdery mildew resistant?
