| I'm looking for a good red cherry tomato. I plant sungold every year and love them but my dad has been wanting a basic red cherry. I try to plant heirlooms but am open to any really tasty, prolific red cherry. So, what are your favorites? And...GO! |

| I have bought some heirlooms from store (Trader Joes) and saved seeds from them. So I do not know its name. It is the size of a ping pong ball, maybe bigger. I have a dislike for small cherries like sweet 100. They are too aggressive for too little fruits. But I will try Sungold on the yellow version side this year. Just a personal preference. |

| If it were me I think I'd look at the links Dave gave, b'c the question about cherry tomatoes has been asked many many times. And I know I've posted about cherry tomatoes many times here in most of those threads, but there are always new ones to consider so I'll name just two new red ones that I like. Durmitor, from Serbia (seeds at Victory Seeds) If you don't know about Tania's superb tomato data base I'll put the link below. If you know the name of a variety click on shortcuts at the top, then use the alphabetical method of finding the page for that variety, which has basic traits, opinions of others, and most with pictures as wekk as seed sources, when available. She features over 4,000 varieties and you can also choose to look at thelink, on the first page, for JUST cherry tomatoes. Hope that helps, Carolyn |

| The Jelly Bean I know is an F1 hybrid, not an heirloom. Link below. Is there an OP one somewhere? I know the F1 Jelly Bean is available at Pinetree and Trade Winds and some other places as the link indicates. Carolyn |
