I have grown Sweet 100 and loved the taste. To my mind there is no better tasting cherry. They are incredibly prolific, too. BUT they crack like crazy a little after their first few weeks of maturity. So I am wondering what Supersweet 100, Sweet 1 million, and Peacevine are like. So they have same taste as Sweet 100? Do they crack? Are they prolific?

Sweet Million F1 didn't crack for me, not that I remember it being a problem even when the weather was rainy.
Supersweet F1 is on trial this year.. |

I know sweet 100 is an indeterminate type tomato. Do you grow it as a vine and trim succulents or do you let it goe as a bush.

Peacevine is an OP that I have read is a sweet 100 that was grown out to no longer be a hybrid. If you ask me - all 4 varieties taste the same. A very good tasting cherry tomato.

I have sweet100 or ss100 few years ago. As mentioned they crack. Also the fruits were small and inconsiatent in size.
This year i am growing Esterina F3 and a determinant grape (also F3, from storebought). Both varieties are crack resistant. Almost forgot my own tiger grape, Indigo Rose and Indigo Apple. I put them in large grape/ cherry category or close to cocktail size.

I've grown Sweet 100 as a bush. It came to about 4 1/2 feet tall and was very bushy. it made the sweetest best tasting cherry tomatoes I have ever grown. So far nothing is its equal. It does crack a lot toward the end of the season, but I just cook those down. They make a wonderful sauce, but are greatest as eating out of the hand.
