Salt, I'm trying to remember a cherry tomato you recommended one time. It's looks like Yellow Pear, only better tasting. Do you remember? I want to put it on my wish list when I send seeds to Gary. |

Iva's Red Cherry gets my vote. Smaller sized, extremely prolific, and great taste.

Hope you were looking for a lot of different suggestions. I have grown Reverend Michael Keyes for the last 2 seasons and have been very happy with it. It is a very prolific multi flora and I do not have any difficulty with splitting. The flavor is full bodied and tangy with a hint of sweetness. It will be back again next season.

Not to be confusing - It's translation is, "Honey Drop." There is a different tomato variety called, "Honeydrop" I have grown both, and they are two different varieties. Both are good tasting and yellow. The Honeydrop variety I grew was from Fedco. https://www.fedcoseeds.com/seeds/?item=4106 I personally like Medovaya Kaplya better. I like the shape, and the taste is excellent. It's in my top 5 cherry tomato list. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Medovaya_Kaplya |

I forgot to mention Fox Cherry. It's become a standout regular in my tomato patch for the reds.

I don't think that is necessarily true. In my experience, many long-life rin-heterozygote tomatoes ripen fully to a non-crunchy finish (if you exercise patience).
I also don't think "thick skin" can be assumed. |

Not a cherry lover but my wife likes Fox Cherry, Hawaiian Cherry and Ambrosia Red.

I grew 2 different red cherrytomatoes this year from the Danish Seedsavers (Frøsamlerne).They have both been around for some years and are not the same even the names suggests they have some Thai-connection.Anjas Thaitomato and Annies Singapore.The first have been bought at a supermarket having a thaiweek, it is aromatic and sweet.The second is from the Singapore Airline, from a sandwich served on board, also very tasty, have a bit of green at the bottom even though it is fully ripe.
