I have grown the black cherry and I used a tomato cage. It went wild. Got very big. Highly recommend it.

Supersweet 100, unlike large fruit tomato varieties, doesn't suffer in production from suckering - i gave 2 plants a whole raised bed with a net trellis to occupy, and every sucker is loaded. Very pest resistant variety, doesn't give any problems, even in our problematic Florida climate! And the taste is really super sweet 🤠👍

Hey Osho! You're right, it's not necessary to prune. I just like the single stemmed look and the fact that it increases airflow in the garden. Cheers!

Lucas I love your energy at the start of the video. It shows us you really love to garden. Thanks for posting.

I’m growing 4 different cherry varieties this year. Sun gold, Supersweet 100, Chocolate sprinkles and sun sugar (yellow). They are my salad tomatoes ❤️ Love them all! Great video 👍🏼

I grew sungold and supersweet 100's too. Both had huge yields I believe bcuz I didn't prune other than some leaves for airflow and if leaves yellowed. I'm still eating last year's frozen of both varieties. I learned last year that a huge container made a big difference or a large space if in ground for root development. This year I subbed 100's with Black Cherry. Excited for them. 😁

Your tomatoes are the most beautiful tomatoes on youtube. My landlord also grows a few tomatoes, but he never prunes the branches or erects supports. His tomato branches are lying on the ground in a mess, but your tomatoes are like a work of art! Everyone who grows tomatoes should watch your video.

I have some cherry tomatoes that seem to grow wild in my garden every year so I have never looked up the name of the variety. But they require no pesticides and seem to withstand tough weather conditions(except heavy rainfall) unlike the larger tomatoes. Watching from Kenya and thank you for sharing.

your tomatoes look so healthy!!! GOOD JOB

I will try these next year. My absolute favourite so far is White Cherry - very big plant and very sweet tomatos. I feed my tomatoes with egg shells, chicken poop and herring. These make them go to the Moon!

I’m ordering these 3 varieties. I hope they are happy in my tropical climate. They would be so cute together in my salad dish.

Thank you for such a great review of these varieties! I have grown the Super Sweet 100 for years… and probably will for the rest of my life. I always let it grow into a 6’ tall x 6’ wide monster that makes more tomatoes than my family can eat. I prune it until it gets a foot or two off of the ground… then let it do it’s thing until frost every year. An amazing cultivar!!! Growing Sun Gold for the first time this year. Planning on doing the same thing. Happy Gardening!!! I am going to make this the year of the tomato for my family. Almost done with the garden expansio… and will have 16 plants growing on four 16’L x 5’T cattle panel trellises. The heavy producers will be Celebrity, Bella Rosa, and Red Snapper. Then some Chefs Choice Pink and Black Krim for flavor.

@@lucasgrowsbestyt use Craigslist or, do it garage sale style. Point is if you do want to sell them all you should have to do is try, even a little and people will respond. You can talk to some restaurants. I'd bet the smaller ones would buy "on the spot" from you. No official farmers market? Start one. Find a business with a decent size parking lot and arrange for some dates to have sales. Then advertise this on craigslist so you get customers and growers showing up. then have fun. Make it tail gate style. Just put all the cars in 2 rows with tail gates or trunks facing towards each other with 20 ft between them. Every one pops the trunk or lowers the tail gate and the sale is on. After it is all done there is no clean up, the sellers just drive away. No clean up problems that way. If you did want to start a larger garden I bet you could find a large plot of ground not being used and gain permission to plant a garden there. House in your area with large section of unused ground? Talk to them. It would make a great KZread video project also. Lots of people interested in gardening for profit, how much could you make? how much work would it be, and, how much did you make after it is all over with? I think one of the secrets would be to talk to a lot of restaurants, smaller ones and arrange to grow for them. That would take care of a lot of sales and also possibly suggest what you might grow, what the restaurants are interested in. If it is successful your video would get a lot of views and you could end the project at that point or do it next year at the same level or even scale it up if you wanted to. Lot of $$ to be made or there would not be any big farms with thousands of acres.

I grow all 3 of these every year, trained to trellis. If you like these 3, consider trying the White Currant Tomato as well.

I love this video, this is the second time i watched it, and this makes me start these three tomato’s this year.

Excellent video and content. Love every one of these varieties and several dozen more 😊. There's a real art and many variables involved but if u can be patient and wait til your tomatoes are fully ripened on the vine you will be rewarded. I see many people especially early in the summer harvesting too early. Most cherry varieties flavor profile are greatly enhanced if you allow them that extra day or two to fully ripen on the vine.

I love cherry tomatoes. Perfect garden snack.

My neighborhood nursery has Sweet Million tomatoes. They are a small cherry type tomato, and really do taste so sweet !!! A bonus is that I usually have several to volunteer the next year! The color of the Black Cherry you are growing looks like my Cherokee Purple heirloom tomatoes. This is a full size variety. I’m growing it for the first time this year and, right now, one plant has 15 + tomatoes on it ripening, with more blooms coming! Can’t wait until they get ripe!!!! Happy growing everyone!

If you don't wanna watch 10 minutes of footage: Sungold (Red/Orange, tropical and citrucy flavour. Vigorous. Hybrid so can't save seeds) Supersweet 100 (Very productive. Hybrid so can't save seeds. Almost as sweet as sungold.) Black cherry (dark red, very vigorous as well, delicious tomatoes more subtle, also hybrid)

Thank you... :)

Tommytoe is my best cherry tomato . It’s a heirloom and has been voted best tasting tomato.I have grown it for years and never failed me. I have also grown black cherry too but tommytoe tastes better ! I’ll be growing sungold this year too in Melbourne Australia.

Hi Lucas have you tried growing those gardener's delight tomatoes? How are they like?

I was under the impression cherry tomatoes were short lived , But I must have been told wrong. Just raised Honey Gold Hybrid and are they flavor bombs,, plenty of early and late season I think frost might not stop them I have Brad's Atomic grape and that's the top favorite tomato in my garden. Have the 1,000,000 on order and a few others. I planted a 35' row of the salad tomatoe next season. Love your pics and we should seek more favorite veggies Thank you for the teaching Sir

Golden nugget determinate is a nice plant especially for a pot or grow bag. Just transplant a couple times, aggressively burying as much of the stem as possible before putting it in it's final home.

Thanks for this Lucas, very informative. I too grow black cherry tomatoes very successfully here in London, UK, they’re delicious! I make my own fertiliser from banana peel or comfrey. One comment, your stretchy plant tie looks like it’s plastic - do correct me if it’s not, but this stuff is around for thousands of years if it is. Time to go back to twine, tie to allow a bit of growth of the stem diameter, and it all composts at the end of the season. Go sustainable mate!

Also i use Natural Liquid Compost ! How to make it, simple pick any vegetable you have, from your kitchen scraps, put it on a bucket filled with water, let it decompose for 24 hours. Your plants will love it. You will have great crops using these techniques, 10 times more wield then the ones found in this video.
