Best tasting red cherry I ever tried. Unfortunately, no longer available unless you can find old seed.\r\n\r\nHalf as productive as Sungold or less, but still preference for red cherry. Far, far more productive than most cherries.

Excellent yield and flavor and crack resistant. So sweet this cherry tomato gets "wows" from everyone who tastes it. Very tender skin and resistant to cracking even after frequent rains. Good size cherry....larger than grape-type but still small enough to just pop into your mouth. Holds well after picking and it is such a delicious variety.

This was our first season last year on our farmette. Could not have done things more wrong if i tried to with that goal. Planted to early shocked transplants very poor soil. Thought I knew it all. Even with all things stacked against them this vatiety did so well. Had apox. 15 plants and more tomatos then we knew what to do with. I my self do not eat tomatos fresh. Belive what Carlin said about something being afowl inside. But love growing them and all our tomato sauce is made from our canning them. My wife lives on fresh tomato and was very pleased with these in taste. Real tomato flavor she said. this year doing things correct and following the rules. We start all tomato from seeds in our greenhouse. Spent the winter getting schooled and will post results this fall on all vegtabales we grow this year

Maybe I got different seeds than some of the other reviewers, but I found Sweet Baby Girl to be prolific, early, very tall and delicious. However, because the previous developer and grower of the seeds is now owned by Monsanto, some seed resellers are no longer offering this variety.

Compact variety, good for containers or limited space. Great eye appeal, but flavor and yields only average, and has some problems with disease if growing conditions aren't ideal.

This hybrid was a long time coming. A controllable semi-indeterminate with great flavor, comparable to the sweetness of sun gold. Great taste, great production.
