FWIW - I completely agree with your assessment of the other 3 varieties. Sungold and Supersweet are good, Sunsugar is close but not quite as good. Black Cherry (for me), blows them away...It tastes absolutely amazing when it is perfectly ripe. I agree with the previous comment about stone fruits - they are almost like a plum! However if not ripe, they are pretty blah. The color of yours and your comment about the core, makes me think that they were not yet ripe enough. The core goes away once they are ripe enough... I pick mine at about the same color as yours and then leave them on the counter for up to a week. You will get a sense of when they are ready. They are by far and away my favorite cherry. (BTW - Try Jaune Flamme - a big sized sungold with more acidity - yum!)

For what it’s worth, and I’m not into acidic tomatoes, the Black Cherry improves over the season. The first few fruits of my plants are always a little blah. Once the heat cranks up it goes crazy and there is a bit more of an acid/sweet balance. I’m zone 8a-8b piedmont SC.

I think tasting the black cherry last was a mistake, also not drinking water in between them all was. Black cherry isn't as strong as a flavor but it has more complexity, it has the taste of a stone fruit. It doesn't taste as good directly after a sweeter tomato though which messes up your palate.

I will say Sun Sugar has improved throughout the season. It still doesn’t quite have the punch of Sun Gold, but it is more productive and doesn’t split. Black Cherry, so far, has been disappointing. The flavor isn’t there, and it totally lacks disease resistance. The plant is on its way out, where Sun Gold, Sun Sugar and Super Sweet 100 continue to produce. I’ll likely replace Black Cherry with a hybrid next season.

SunSugar is a very good tomato, and if you just casually pick them off the plant, they seem very similar. However, when you actually eat them side-by-side, they aren't even close to the same.

Thanks, I am definitely going to grow Sun gold this year. I have heard about them for years, but I haven't been able to have a garden the past couple of years, and I generally grow only heirlooms, so I have never tried the Sun Gold. But being that I live in the same region of the country as you do, in the SouthEastern U.S., I live in Georgia, I have struggled in the past with the heat and humidity causing pest and disease problems with my tomatoes. So I have decided to add a few of the really good F1's in my tomato line up this year to insure that I have a good enough yield to be able to preserve some of my harvest. In years past, depending on the weather, my tomato harvest has been patchy at best when growing all heirloom varieties. And I think we all know that almost anything could happen this year, especially being that it is a Presidential election year, and with all the chaos in the country. And I think we should all be trying to grow and preserve as much food as we possibly can.

What fun taste comparisons ~ they all look wonderful! And the later Sun Sugar means you can stagger your harvest a bit.

I bought the plants :) (Husky cherry tomato fan as well, but they've been a little difficult to find the past two years. They're not overly sweet but they do have a full rich tomato flavor that's nice for snacking off the vine.)

I have had Sunsugar on many occasions. I will tell you that some starts produced varying degrees of flavor. Some were good while others were nasty. I would think some nurseries secretly try to save the hybrid seeds and pass them as true Sunsugar. I have even know some nurseries to save seeds from openly pollinated fruits that were among mass differing varieties on tables. You never know for certain what a variety will taste like given parent plants and growing conditions.

If you're interested in yellow tomatoes, you might want to try growing Wapsipinicon Peach toms, which (as i understand it) are named after the Wapsipinicon river in Georgia, where they originate. They are a "saladette"-size tom, which are pretty-much exactly the same size range as your Black Cherry toms there. They're named Wapsipinicon PEACH because they're covered in fuzz, just like a peach. (It's super-easy to rub or brush off.) They're fun to grow and fun to show off and I liked them in salads or just sliced in half with sea-salt or garlic-salt. When fully mature the toms are a lovely yellow with a pink-to-orange blush, like they're shy or embarrassed or just awkward. Fun. They're also an heirloom. Interestingly, I've got a packet of black cherry seeds waiting for me... it may be time to go ahead 'n plant some of those now. ONE THING that I like to do is go to my local grocery and buy heirloom tomatoes, take them home and try them. If I love them, then I save the seeds and plant them in my garden. Easy-peasy.... and costs WAY less than buying a packet of seeds. This year I'm trying that with Trader Joe's tomatoes-on-the-vine but I don't know if they are heirlooms... so IDK what I'll get. Knock on wood.

In years past I've grown both Sun Gold and Black Cherry. Sun Gold produces LOTS more fruit and it's hard to keep up with picking them. It's a really tasty cherry tomato but is thin-skinned. The skin cracks very quickly so you need to be aware of that. It also sheds and drops both ripe and green fruit as the weather cools in Fall. Black cherry has a thicker skin and is more crack-resistant. It's tasty and has a complex flavor. This year I'm growing Super Sweet 100 for the first time. It's a vigorous grower and already has fruit but none to pick yet. Looking forward...

Black Cherry is our favorite with Prescott Cherry second. Eagle Smiley and Sunsugar are rather small in size and not very sweet, so they won't be grown again in our garden.

So do my grandchildren. 😉 Any suggestions?

This is insane to me. I never paid attention to different types of tomatoes but I accidentally bought different cherry tomatoes today and I was preparing them along with some I already had and always get. The flavors were so different from each other I was stunned! I think I got the Sweet 100s. They’re called flavor bomb cherry tomatoes and I got them from whole foods. Now I want to grow my own and I’m still very new to gardening too.

I enjoyed your comparison of the cherry tomatoes. I like cherry tomatoes also but once I tried the sun gold that was a winner for me. I don’t think I only planted one cherry 🍅 this year but I’m hoping that I have some volunteers from the Sun gold like I did last year. So yummy! Need to also plant some of those 100s next year because they are so good!

We grew Black Cherry last year and really liked the larger size of the Black Cherry. So this year we looked for bigger cherry tomatoes. We’ve grown Super sweet 100 and it is a good regular cherry. So we are growing Honeycomb, Sparky and Black Cherry.

I grew Black Cherry last year and wasn't a huge fan. I also like a more acidic tomato. I always grow the Juliet tomatoes. Not sure if they're considered a true cherry or a small roma as they are fairly large for a cherry type. They're super productive, can take the heat pretty well. I "think" I have a Super Sweet 100 out there this year lol. I picked up the plant at a local nursery but it's honestly SOOOO hot out today, I don't wanna get back out there to check the tag right now lol.

This year we had Supersweet 100, Crispino, Black Cherry, Zuckertraube. All of them are very tasty but Zuckertraube was my favorite in flavor and Crispino the one of my girlfiend. Both were sweeter than Supersweet 100 but y didn't like the hard skin of Crispino. Next year y will try Sub Gold too, the seeds are waiting for their day... Black Cherry is different and absolutely a must grow. When i get tired of picking the very small Supersweet i'm glad to pick Black Cherry and it's very tasty, too. I think i will test some more cherrytomato but the four from last year need there place in the garden ti he sure to have a good crop of cherrytomato.

Super sweet 100 is a standard in Southeast Texas. I am experimenting with a red cherry called "Flavor Bombs" and a yellow cherry called "Lolly Bombs". Both of these came from grocery store tomatoes. So far, the "Flavor Bombs" are setting fruit like crazy. I think Sungold tomatoes taste like sunshine. I'll have to try the Black Cherry next year.

@@jennhoff03 YES! HEB's Lolly Bombs, and Compari, too. I watched a couple KZitem videos on how to get the seeds ready and it works like magic. You just squeeze the tomato innards into a glass and cover it with water. Let it sit for two weeks. Make sure to give it the full 14 days. I rushed a couple batches and did not have as much luck with both germination and strong plants. You are fermenting the seeds, so if mold grows in the glass it's a good thing. Don't throw them out. Make sure they do not go dry. At two weeks, put the seeds on a paper towel and let dry for 24 hours. I had better results with the seeds I let dry than the ones I planted directly. Wait 2 to 3 days and Voila. I also tried the mini San Marzano tomatoes, but the plants have all died. I'll try again next year.

I've grown Sun Gold for five years and it is my favorite cherry tomato. It does tend to split if you don't pick them quickly after they ripen. This year I'm growing Black Strawberry cherry tomato from Baker Seeds, can't wait to try them. I wan to grow Super Sweet 100 next year, a lot of KZitem gardeners rave about it.

I agree with you on the Sungold - BEST. You should try Cherry Baby by the company beginning with a 'B'. I find them better than than Super Sweet 100 and they do better in containers. With the black cherry (I call mine Purple) its about optimal ripeness but I've always said they are more savory than sweet.

I wait all year for this. I'm finally at the point now where I have something to look forward to every season. I look forward to spring for starting the garden, early summer for tomatoes, late summer for figs, fall for feijoa and persimmons, and winter for citrus. If you grow enough stuff, there is always something to look forward to.

I grew Sun Gold for the first time this year, and it’s been fantastic as far as production and disease resistance, but it’s too sweet for me. I have gotten some splitting after lots of rain. I’m in zone 9A in Northwest Florida, so lots of rain, but I’m not a big fan of sweet tomatoes. I much prefer a more acidic taste. The Sun Gold was amazing in its sweetness, but when you put it in a salad, it was almost like putting sweet raisins or berries or grapes in my salad, which I didn’t like. I’m going to try Everglades cherry tomatoes next spring. They’re tiny marble sized cherries, but I’ve never tasted one, so I can’t speak to how they taste.
