Apart from sungold tomatoes I really like to grow Rosella tomatoes. They are a cherry tomato and they really sweet and juicy.

This year I have quite a few plants which I think are Black Plum - I had one plant in a container last year as it was supposed to be a different variety. Somehow a rogue seed must have made it's way into a swapped or saved seed packet. It's not a variety I had grown before or consciously swapped with anybody. Last year's plant did not do well in the container, but enough to save some seeds. Very tasty toms imo, large cherry size. Slight tendency to blossom end rot early in the season, but a keeper for me.Location: London

I picked a few Orange Beauty today. They're a small plum, nice and sweet, but the skins are a bit tough. Nightshade, also a plum, are very prolific and a beautiful black. They look ripe, but they don't feel it yet.Last edited by Florence Fennel; 24-08-2025, 05:04 PM.Granny on the Game in Sheffield

This year I have Sungold and Black Cherry on the top of my list as favourites.
I am also growing cherry falls, Apero, Salisaw Cafe, Shirley, and Piccolo..
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Odd. Rose de Berne is a (heritage) beefsteak tomato.Originally posted by Snoop Puss View PostIf you like large cherry toms, give Rose of Berne a try. Quicker than most to produce a harvest too (quicker than Sungold for me) and very prolific. Great flavour.

That is odd. I've bought seeds from two places in France and they both behaved the same. Large numbers of fruit just a bit larger than Gardeners Delight, starting very early and ending very late. I have no trouble growing other varieties that produce large tomatoes (Rose of Barbastro and other varieties of big salad toms). So I don't think it's the conditions and it would be odd for me to have muddled up labels several years in succession. Always possible I suppose.Originally posted by smallblueplanet View Post

Anyway, scratch my suggestion, guys. Clearly wrong.

If you like sungold, you will love honeycomb, they split less readily than sungold too!
More favs for me are sweet baby, sweet aperitif, both sweet cherries. Limoncito, a yellow cherry with a subtle lemony tang and green zebra, a full size green and yellow stripe tomato with a lovely savoury tom flavour.
Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result
