| Has long been the absolute standard for red cherries, but now, newwr ones are appearing. Still, if you don\'t start from seed, this is the best tasting red cherry. |

| I've grown this variety for several years, usually with good results. 2009 was a very cool, wet year, and Super Sweet 100 was neither super nor sweet. Very bland and small tomatoes resulted. I'm looking for a better variety that can can handle a cool season. |

| I have grown this one for years, as a reliable, good tasting cherry type. Up until a couple of years ago this was my favorite cherry but it simply has been eclipsed in my view by others. Simply put I cannot imagine why I would grow this when Chocolate Cherry is around which I think has more classic tomato flavor and a sweetness that extenuates the tomato taste, it yields heavier and is more vigorous. My knocks on this cherry is despite its very good flavor the sweetness does not really work with the tomato flavor and it is too seedy, and far to prone to exploding in a gelatinous mess in your mouth. Very productive, but prone to splitting and the ants love this one. In terms of other types I would take Jelly Bean (a grape type)over this equaling it in flavor and excelling in storage and meatiness. I really do not like that overly juicy, seedy texture SuperSweet 100 has.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Previously I told you what I thought of this tomato. Well opinions vary. My wife requested this back as she apparently likes sweet tomatoes. So after being scolded for not planting it in 2010 it will be planted for 2011. This has always been a good performer for me and was long a favorite.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2011 and 2012 update. This grew very well in a tough year in terms of drought and heat. |

| Our 2 plants got suddenly withered & died from the base up when they were 7 feet tall in July. They had good productivity of sweet rather thin skinned fruit with some cracking prior to their sudden demise (literally withered in 7 to 10 days). Whatever got 'em did not sicken either the grape tomatoes (DH preferred the sweet 100s until they became sour on the withered vines) or our main cropper slicers. Tough climate here for maters - knocked these off suddenly. |

| Excellent variety. Very sweet and very productive. Will split at times but that can be avoided if picked just slightly early and allowed to ripen indoors. I'm in zone 9 and have been harvesting them even in December. the plant needs a lot of support and can grow very tall [i started my plants very late (aug) and still they got to be over 6' tall!]. pics here at http://sites.google.com/site/containervegetablegardening/vegetable-varieties/tomato-supersweet-100 |

| I've grown this in Missouri, on the Oregon Coast, and in Colorado - always with the same result - the best tasting tomato in the garden and lots of output. Prolific indeterminate variety that needs pruning and staking. |

| One of the best and most reliable cherry tomatoes you can grow. Tomatoes form in
symmetrical clusters, are medium-sized, and are very sweet. The plants are quite tall and virtually disease free. With this variety, you can count on a bountiful harvest right through the end of September in this region. |

| In a year when most of my tomatoes were hit by disease, these kept producing until frost. Good tangy little tomatoes. They are prone to splitting if you get lots of rain. |

| This cherry is a good producer in all weather. Unfortunately they split quite easy with even small amounts of rain. The flavor is good except in cool seasons when they tend to be quite bland. |

| This cherry tomato produces a large volume of fruit of a uniform size. A nice small cherry with a lovely sweet flavor. They do tend to split when it rains, but are heat tolerant. While the vines are VERY large, the fruit grows in clusters making it easier to harvest. This is the only cherry tomato I grow. |

| Learned of this cherry tomato from an "old time" gardener. I have planted it for 5 years now and it is the only cherry I plant. The only problem is my stakes are never high enough to hold them (I use 6 ' stakes) and they eventually are more like a grape vine, overlapping and holding each other up. |
