I just bought this plant from the Farm Store at Cal Poly Pomona. It is a yellow/orange cherry tomato with potato leafs.

Has anyone grown it? Did a google search and couldn't find much on it.

Are you sure this variety isn't a grape tomato? I've been growing Golden Sweet for a few years and it is a deep yellow grape tomato. Check out johnnyseeds.com who is a seed source in Maine. They ship to your area.

On Cherry Tomatoes:

I have several SUNGOLDS that I have started from seed. Today I was at Fred Myers Garden center They have Sun Sugar. The price @ $1.99. was right for a nice 6" sturdy plant, BUT:
I realy do not have more garden space. Is Sun Sugar any better than Sungold ? If YES, I might squeeze one some place.

They had so many different nice varieties That I would've liked to grow, if I had space : LIKE. Anna Russina, Caspian Pink, Black from Tula, Indigo Rose, Red Zebra, Ananas Noir, Juliet, Jet Star, German Johnson, Amish paste, Kellog BeefSteak ... and few more.They all were from another grower, NOT Bonnie

So what do you think about Sun Sugar ?

Well, I can't be certain until seeing the fruit. :)

But the store calls it "Golden Sweet Cherry" and the picture that the store put on top of the shelf is of yellow cherry tomatoes (spherical, not elongated) as pictured in the Johnny's Seeds webpage.

The store has a picture and a brief description of each of the tomato varieties that they sell. I recall that the description for this variety mentions something about the tomato being developed at some research center called the "Week Center" or something like that.
