| Avoid it. Grow Sungold, Sun Sugar, Sweet 100, Super sweet 100 as cherries.\r\n\r\nI rated production low because I did not produce a single tomato worth eating because of the bad taste. I let them rot on the vine because of the taste. |

| I grew these little gems in a grow box and they did awesome! they grew very tall and were chocked full of flowers. taste was good especially warmed from the sun and right off the vine. As others mentioned, they need to be picked daily or they will split on you! You will need a lot of friends to share your harvest with because they are plentiful! I will be growing them again! |

| Grown these for years. Plants grow HUGE and you get HUGE yields of 1" or bigger cherry tomatoes. The taste is sweet enough, but not overly so. Plants have good disease resistance. I've never had a problem with splitting unless I was unable to pick the ripe ones before a huge rain. |

| This is basically a very standard, productive cherry tomato. If you want a cherry tomato like the ones at the store, but with better flavor, grow these. Like some said they benefit a lot from daily or almost daily harvesting, as the tomatoes split if you let them sit. |

| An impressive red cherry tomato. The yield was even larger than Sun Gold and Black Cherry in my Kansas garden! The fruits are sweet and tender. I had zero split on me, but I picked them every other day. I grew my plant on a tomato ladder, and kept it pruned to three main branches. Some days the sheer number of yellow blossoms on this plant made me laugh out loud! Those long, flowing trellises will remain in my memory for quite a while. I'm already making room for Sweet Million in my garden plan for next year. |

| This is a very good tomatoe and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm addicted to sungold it would probably be my favorite cherry tomato. It is my favorite of the reds. |

| The Sweet Million are delicious and certainly prolific; however, if you can't get out to pick them every day, they will tend to split while on the vine. I stake mine and they grow over 10' tall, even higher if I stand on a step ladder and tie them to the stakes (I use strapping tape to tie 2 6' stakes together). I just wonder how much taller they would grow if I had the means to continue staking them and if the growing season was longer. I have to fence them in because the deer love them, so this past summer (2005), I put in a more permanent fence (I formerly used deer netting, but by the end of the season, the deer usually were able to tear through it and get to the tomatoes). |

| It was very easy to take care of, and the cherry tomatoes were delicious! It just took up a lot of space in my small garden, and I forgot to buy the right type of cage for the plant. |
