Cherry types typically have lower total yields which means they expend less resources on fruit,leaving more energy to go elsewhere-such as roots,in this case potato tubers.I'm guessing this is why they graft cherry tomatoes on them,what you see are not big tomatoes that stayed small because they were grafted.
