I grew Sweet Valentine this year... not impressed yet. it had a great write up...
I think a tumbler is any determinate cherry that has a soft or lax stem habit that allows it to drape if unsupported over the edge of a pot or basket without breaking. I disagree that they aren’t productive,
Many are very productive. For example, if you look closely at my photo you will Be able to see a LOT of cherry tomatoes already set and the plant continues to bloom. They also tend to be quite early as a rule and hanging tomato baskets are a hot seller at least in western Canada you will find them at every garden Center and they sell for about 35-50 $ for a nice one.
