Top 3 Cherry Tomatoes You NEED to Grow!

[@judithhildebrand41]

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

[@amyk6028]

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 👍🏼

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

Awesome! Great varieties. I'd love to try Sun Sugar at some point.

[@musicalala]

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. 😁

[@marciasharpe3983]

This will be my first time growing tomatoes! I got the Super Sweet and Sun Gold too..looking for Sun Sugar..also Best Boy ? (slicer)

[@woodworkingaspirations1720]

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.

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

Yes, cherry tomatoes are typically lower-maintenance than beefsteaks. Greetings for Canada!

[@alienmonkeyforever]

i live in Kentucky USA and i have a variety called Sweetie that has naturalized in an onion/garlic patch. I do well to try and control it. I love the flavor and apparently so do the squirrels . a variety i’m not found of is red pearl. To ma toe - ta ma toe I suppose 😉

[@growpuravida]

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 🤠👍

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

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!

[@ayuanzhao7062]

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.

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

Sorry for the reply three years late, but thank you!! Gardening is definitely a form of art for me and I really appreciate your kinds words.

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.

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

Awesome plants Mr. Lucas Sir! Your plants look happy and healthy. Great video.

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

Thanks James! How are your cherry tomatoes doing?

[@GrownToCook]

I live and garden in the Netherlands so it’s funny to see that your favourite cherry tomatoes are pretty much the same, though we have to grow these in a greenhouse. A recent discovery of ours is Esterina, very productive and delicious, better balanced than Sungold in my opinion :)

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

I've seen your video on reviewing 7 varieties of cherry tomatoes many times because it's one of the few videos on KZbin of with super productive tomato plants, haha. You guys really know what you're doing in the garden! I'll have to try Esterina at some point. Thanks for the comment :)

I’m growing sungold, super sweet 100, Chadwick cherry, large red cherry, and gardeners delight cherry...don’t get me started with the regular sized tomatoes I’m growing 😝

[@sumathiragala]

Hi can I get the seeds of those?? I don't have a big garden but still interested in growing tomatoes for my kids. they enjoy harvesting them

[@great0789]

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.

[@andrewtowell6074]

I love the taste of Sungolds, my favourite tomato. Can't beat them sliced into a salad. My preference over your red cherry would be Sweet Million, it has a fantastic balanced sweet flavour. You might want to also try the Black Opal, its an improved Black Cherry cross cross between 'Sweet Aperitif' and 'Black Cherry', Hello from England, UK... we love our home grown tomatoes here!!

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

Hi Andrew, there are so many tomato varieties out there I would love to try, but right now I simply don't have the space. I have been wanting to try Sweet Million, some day when I have my own property I will trial Sweet 100, Supersweet 100, and Sweet Million to see which variety does best. Thanks for watching and for the variety suggestions!

About 15 years ago we had a volunteer plant that was likely from a bird spring up in our flower garden. Had always grown a few dozen varieties of regular tomatoes but no cherry.

[@trollbbqer1267]

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!

These are the healthiest looking tomatoes I’ve ever seen! What are you feeding them?

[@serenemountain6769]

i feed my tomatoes with natural composting, woodchips, bush sticks, green or dry, i collect from trees or from the ground, leafs, green or dry , even hay, and kitchen vegetable wastes, all placed around my crop plants, covering the earth ! (also prevents the growing of weeds, great bonus hey) The insects will do the composting for me, all naturally, enriching the soil... i'm always adding biomass to the soil, if you feed the soil, you feed the plants. 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.

[@angelsuniverse6021]

Can u just prune to keep it at 5 or 6 ft tall?

[@jeil5676]

@@angelsuniverse6021 You could, without pruning to a single vine you could still get good production. You could also guide the vines along a trellis laterally if vertical space is your only concern. These plants will sprawl along the ground if left on their own but that can present other problems with space, sunlight, etc.

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.

[@michaelcrabtree2939]

Super sweet 100 is definitely a winner...i grew that plant last year and had bunches of tomatoes. Get super sweet 100 if u buy this variety.

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!

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

That's awesome Robert! I wish I had some place to sell all my extras.

[@robert5]

@@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 KZbin 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.

[@jbarksdale5845]

Hey man, you need to build you a sturdy/ secure over head trellis at 8ft. Get some Tomahooks and bailing twine. Use vine clips, hard prune like you are and use a lower and lean technique to train. Youll add 30% to your harvest and you wont have 10 ft plants overhead.

[@oana1111]

Didn’t know of this technique, thank you for mentioning it. When I saw his tomatoes I was thought they would look great on a wide rose trellis to shade the car parking lot. That is a technique my dad uses with grape vines. They get sun, the car gets shade, pick the fruits up from below. Or to grow them vertically on the side of my house, I could pick them up from the first floor. I don’t think they would get this tall in a ceramic pot however. Another idea I had for some of my spare tomatoes was to grow them next to a rambling rose and use its canes for support. I’ll do that this summer. It seems roses greatly benefit from having toms nearby. The house bricks might get too hot in direct sun and burn the plant. We’ll see, I guess.

[@Gaspa79]

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)

Thanks Leah! Seeds saved from hybrid plants (Sun Gold and Supersweet 100 in this case) can be sown but they may produce unpredictable fruit that may or may not look like the one it was saved from. I actually did grow beefsteaks using seeds saved from a storebought tomato my second year gardening. They produced lots of nice, big tomatoes. I think I prefer indeterminates when growing at home because they can be pruned and grown vertically, therefore giving you a higher yield per unit area.
