Your favorite cherries from last season

[Karma]

Hi All,

Wondering what you loved and will grow again in regard to your cherry tomatoes. Some of my favorite are:


Sweet Treats - pink and so delicious. It is my new number one fav.

Orange Paruche - looks like a Sungold but tastes even better. Yes, I said that.

Sunchocola - has all the deep richness of a full size black tomato in cherry form.

Green Doctors Froasted - It never is very productive along the coast but I grow it anyway because it is so delicious. I prefer the frosted by far. A must try.

Chika - red cherry. Small plant good for container. Delicious sweet yet old fashion tomato taste. A winner for sure.

Tell me your 5 most grow cherries.

Thank you!

Verde Claro in my garden is much better tasting than both Green Doctors varieties and typically a better producer. Not a lot of must grow cherries for me, but that is one of them. Iva's Red Berry did well last year and is a great producer of good tasting red cherries. Green Zebra Cherry is another awesome GWR cherry I grow.

My 5 must grow cherries are SunGold, SunGold, SunGold, SunGold, and SunGold. The five plants feed the neighborhood.

Your first 3 are my favorites and I grow them every year for our personal uses and giving to neighbors.



Sungold, Black Cherry, Matt's Wild Cherry. We also grow one just called Yellow Cherry (which is very good) and some cocktails.

5 cherry plants would take up my whole backyard, not that it would be a problem...


So, how does everyone keep them from splitting. I run out before each rain storm and pick clean everything remotely yellow. I can hear the bells ringing and the birds singing when we have
a few days without a cloudburst and I get to eat a rich orange nugget of goodlyness. But when angry clouds are churning around, I have to share with the bugs the next day.



Sungold is my lunch when I'm out in my remote garden.

Gajo de Melon
Isis candy

Sungold

I had a fellow local tomato fanatic friend highly recommend Merlot cherry. Said it was his new favorite, so I am going to try it this year. Also can't wait to try all the Karmas. For growing in small pots:

Hahms Gelbe
Whippersnapper

[AlittleSalt]

Japanese Pink Cherry
Porter
Medovaya Kaplya
Helsing ★★★★★★★★ Blue
Sungold F1

Those 5 taste nothing alike.

Sweet orange is what I grow every year,it tastes better than sungold,and resists splitting much better, my 2cents.

[FarmerShawn]

Top five? Sungold, Black Cherry, Blush, Green Tiger, cherry Bomb. Next five? Russian Mini Yellow, Matt's Wild Cherry, Fox Cherry, Purple Bumblebee, Esterina. Next five? . . .

Galina. Still the best after so many years. It's basically the only cherry I still grow.

[Lotte]

Mine were:

Bicolor Cherry
Chocolate Cherry
Aurantiacum
Green Doctor's Frosted
Palmerische Wildtomate

And the smaller ones, currants:
Ladybird
Petite Poire

I loved Orange Paruche too. Cereza Amarilla was wonderful.

Pink Tiger, and other Artisan ones, are among favorites.
I should have chosen more cherry varieties for my list last year - they seemed to thrive despite the crazy heat wave, whereas so many delicious slicers and hearts came to a screeching halt..
