Nan & decherdt, I agree that Black Cherry is wonderful in so many ways. It out produces anything in the shadiest parts of my garden (will have to try Yellow Pear in partial shade also). I wasn't going to grow it this year but sowed some seed for practice in grafting. Of course, the germination rate was high, the growth was quick and sturdy, and it took to grafting great.

It's the only tomato that I constantly munch on in the garden.

This year, I have in and growing:

Esterina
Sungold
Ron's Carbon Copy
Maglia Rosa (container)
Blush (good fruit set so far from what started out as a delicate looking plant)
Galina's
Isis Candy
Pink Princess

Fruit set on all of them. Cool and wet lately - but 80s returning this week.
