Im looking to trial a couple orange hybrid cherry tomatoes this spring and this one from High Mowing caught my eye. Has anyone here grown this one yet? If so how did it grow, taste, and resist disease? Here is the link http://www.highmowingseeds.com/organ...ato-Seeds.html

I am trying it based on the recommendation of my most trusted grower friend, who says it has flavor equivalent to SunGold, but with less cracking and longer shelf life.

Well, it's made by Enza which means it will probably beat Sungold easily in production.
In a german test it came first in brix and quite high in acid also (sungold wasn't in that test).
Not much else I can say, except I hate it when everything is 'the cherry that is betar than sungold, promise'.

I suppose i will order it from High Mowing and give it a shot. I too hate how they always say its better than Sungold. If they are going to make such high claims the tomato better be pretty darn good.

I've been eyeing that one for the past 2 years--please report back how it goes in 2016.
