| My first year with this one. I did like it quite a bit. It was a steady producer of sweet cherries, that were popular with my customers at market. Flavor was very good, no cracking issues and it produced the whole season. Not nearly as vigorous or productive as Sun Sugar or Sun Peach, but still a good producer. |

| I'd like to add a things now that I've grown both Sun Gold and Sun Cherry side by side (literally).
While I still really like this tomato, I don't think it tastes anything like Sun Gold. It has a more sweet tomato flavor, where as Sun Gold has a fruitiness to it. I don't think they taste similar at all.
This year I had far more splitting with Sun Cherry than I previously did. I did have some problems with Sun Gold splitting a little too, but not much. I found Sun Gold to be far more vigorous as well. Overall, I'd grow this tomato again (I really like the flavor and it's always the first to produce too) but I feel most people would probably prefer Sun Gold. |

| Tried this tomato for the first time in 2007. None of my other tomatoes, including my cherries did well that year, with the exception of Sun Cherry which produced into January when I pulled it out. The plant was very productive, and the fruit was very sweet (the best cherry tomato I've had so far). I had no problems with cracking, or pests, and the skin wasn't thick either. Plant matures in 58 days. Tomato Growers describes it as the "red-fruited sister to the popular orange Sun Gold", although I pick mine up from the local nursery.
I'm growing both Sun Cherry and Sun Gold this year to compare their flavor. Both are growing very well so far and it looks like I'll be getting some Sun Cherry tomatoes soon! |
