I obtained seeds for "Sweet Orange Cherry" from Tomatofest. This was my first year growing them. One of my neighbor starts all of my seeds for me, I transplant seedlings into 20 gallon grow bags.\r\nThis plant was huge, both tall (7ish feet) and bushy. I trellis using multiple bamboo stakes, and jute cord. I do not prune my plants.\r\n\r\nI grew 30 varieties of tomatoes this year and this was the most prolific.\r\n\r\nAs it was open pollinated, I am wondering if mine could have been inadvertently cross pollinated with a different variety. The tomatoes on my plant were not uniformly round, cherry type tomatoes.They were much larger than I see in any of the descriptions. They were a nice orange color. Most were double the size of a ping pong ball or larger, many had slight "ripples" to them. They produced early and kept on producing until frost. Even giving these away, I had a bunch go to waste because this plant was simply so prolific. \r\n\r\nThe taste was very good, pleasant enjoyable but not super outstanding. \r\n\r\nBecause it was such a good producer, it is one that I will continue to grow.
