The most delicious cherry tomato last year was Tutti Frutti from Vilmorin.

Edit. I found several different looking Tutti Frutti tomatoes on line. Is this the one you grew? https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item...utti_f1_hybrid Last edited by NarnianGarden; February 15, 2019 at 09:04 AM. |

Yes, it looks like a tomato I've grown. It's dark now, and so tomorrow I'll make a photo of the Vilmorin seed bag. Tomatoes that I grow can be seen here: tetajana.cz

I plant Sun Sugar every year because I grow it at work and love the flavor but it is a hybrid. From the overwhelming responses I guess I need to try Sun Gold this year to see if it competes flavor wise.
I also love Sweet Pea Currant. It's a complete pain to pick but very sweet, earliest to produce and I love to sit down with a bowl and eat them like candy. |

Yeah, but are you going to plant any Sungolds?

No one mentioned Sweet Million. Has that one fallen out of favor? Or are there this many that are better?
I'm not familiar with Karma Pink, but they seem popular here. These are cherry tomatoes? If so, I'd like for someone to suggest a source so I can get a few to try this year. Thanks, Don

Sweet Million used to be my favourite too, but there are so many varieties that taste better .

Sweet 100 is a regular favorite but I am excited to try Karma Pink this year!

I hope to that as well, and also Sweet Aperitif.. which has got mixed reviews.

My unquestionable longtime favorite is Businka from M. Hahm. (unlike mentioned in Tatiana's tomatobase, it's not an F1 hybrid)
In my garden, growing on sandy soil, it has beaten all other red cherries I've tried so far (e.g. Sweet Million, Vesennij Michurinskij, Besser Select, Rideau Sweet, Sweet Aperitif) I also like Green Doctors in terms of flavour, unfortunately it is less productive, more prone to cracking and a bit difficult to determine the optimal degree of ripeness. |

Iva's Red Berry, Fence Row, Peruvian Bush, Pelican , Camp Joy ,Marizol Magic and Concrete Red (more saladette sized) never understood the sun gold hype, need to try them again to be fair but they had a strange fruity flavor for me.
