In the winter when we have no fresh garden tomatoes, we get Cherubs from the grocery store. My wife likes them more than my garden cherry tomatoes (Blasphemy, I know.) I'd prefer not to grow out the F2. Has anybody else stabilized it, or discovered an OP grape tomato that is extremely close in flavor?

Of the hybrid grape tomatoes I've grown the Cherubs, Santa Sweets and Smarty F1. My Fave would be Santa Sweet Sweets.

I know of no one who has dehybridized any of them although saved F2 seeds from Santa Sweets F1 are known to come true about 99% of the time and many folks are on the F6 and F7 and all is well.

I know of just one grape tomato that is OP and that can be found at Tomato Growers Supply, just called Grape Tomato.

I haven't grown it and don't intend to.

Fact is, I don't see anything special about a grape shape, so have other red cherries I prefer to grow and there's a thread here on this first page now, with lots of links to past discussions about cherry tomatoes.

Hope that helps,

Carolyn

Well then, if that's the case, I may give the F2 a shot. Thanks.
