Grows huge in my Oregon plot. I stack 3 cages high, zip tied together all held up with a 6' stake. Splitting fruit a problem. Doesn't handle well. Eat'em on the spot.

Wow, these are the best tasting cherry tomatoes I've ever tasted! Not the sweetest, but very tangy and full of flavor. As for yield, I probably have between 200 and 250 cherries ripening on the vine right now, and that's after pruning many of the branches. Great taste, fantastic yield, and vigorous vines. The only star I deducted is for some of the tomatoes splitting after it rains, but that's not such a big deal. We wash and eat them just the same.

Easy to grow. Even in this summer of late blight.

The rave reviews of Sungold are truthful. It is a superb little tomato. We harvested our first ones on Memorial Day, and have been picking every day since. The yield is not the tremendous amount some have gotten, but plenty for the two of us and the neighbors. Very tasty, very firm, and lovely to behold!

Delicious variety that was easy to grow, but they split at the drop of a hat. I grew them near some sweet millions and they would split after a rain while the sweet millions remained firm and tasty. I love the taste but i don't plan to grow them again.
