June bug

charley · May 5, 2017

Ok i finally have june bug at f-6 its pretty stable but i must admit the f-2s
Are larger and a little tastier. But my wife said they taste alot like a sun gold and i agree but not as much bite.its a very good cherry. I will have seeds for anyone who would like to try it soon as more ripen and i can dry some seeds out.i also have a( few) f2 seed if anyone wants to look for their own selections. I do have one orange with red spots that i found and will grow out this fall.

there's a picture of the plant I put a pen in there so you could see how big those cherry tomatoes are.

Charly, that is a pretty one for a lighter yellow! How does it taste to you?

AND a red SPOTTED one???!! Too cool.

I shall beg seeds when you have some, sounds like a neat line(s). What was the breeding?

Jaune Flammee' xblack cherry. But it will take a little while to let some more ripen and collect seeds and dry them out. It tastes like a sun gold but more tomatoey very good.not as productive as sungold but 3 times bigger.the color is a burnt orange. And when you cut it there's some pink in the middle

The fruits color shape and size are close to Esterina that I have in my garden.
But Esterina is even more productive than Sungold , w/more meat , less seeds, wont crack, ...

Cooll gardeneer sounds like you have a winner. I wonder what the breading line was?hows the taste.what flavor profiles does it have?june bug has a old fashioned tomato flavor and then the sweet shows up at the end. It dont crack but has a little thicker skin than i like.
