Flavor

Sold and described as very sweet, with the classic bright cherry-tomato flavor. As with all flavor notes here, this is the recurring catalog description, not a measured claim.

Origin

An F1 hybrid cherry tomato long popular for its heavy clusters of small sweet fruit. The improved disease-resistant selection is sold as Supersweet 100.

What it does well

  • Enormous yields in long trailing trusses
  • Reliably sweet
  • The Supersweet 100 selection adds fusarium, verticillium and tobacco mosaic resistance

Where it frustrates

  • Fruit can crack
  • Vigorous vines need strong staking or caging
