| This is my first year growing black cherry tomatoes. I have some small black cherry forming. Right now they are (slightly) teardrop shaped. Does this sound normal? What is the final shape of the fruit: round, pear, or grape? Thanks, |

| I'm going to guess it's from Bonnie? |

| Black Cherry, as bred by Vince Sapp., is round. Carolyn |

| It may be a bonnie plant... I bought from a few different sources so I don't recall for sure. Thanks carolyn! |
|
| Ive grown LOTS of Black Cherries because I use them in crossing. Under certain conditions the Black Cherry fruits may not be round. This usually only lasts for a cluster or two and then they come out round. I see it happen usually on the early fruits. Soon you'll know either way, if it is just environment or you got a mix up. |

| I suggested Bonnie Plants, because when I tried to figure what was going on with my "black cherry, I found there have been many reports of mislabled black cherry from Bonnie which were actually black plum. I ended up pulling mine and trying again even though it was pretty late. |

| Thank you for the update mule & mbrowne... I will watch and report. |
|
| looking at it more closely, it is almost grape shaped now. Here is a picture... the (blurry) tomatoes in the background look more round.

| Doesn't look like Black Cherry to me and I grow it every year. Cindy |
