Yellow Pear Tomato. Grew some year before last. Skin’s a little thick but the flavor’s good. Barry’s Crazy Cherry is another yellow one, so named due to the crazy amount of maters on each cluster. I counted over 200 fruits on one plant.

Rosella is a good purple cherry. Chadwick Cherry is a large red cherry and good for halving/quartering for a salad.

I used to view cherry tomatoes (all colors) with some disdain. They seemed to pop up all over the garden, and I’m not sure exactly what kind of tomato the little plants are from. Then I got tired of the larger ones splitting just before I would pick them, and slugs, my sworn enemy. So, I conceded and started them in 5 - 10 gallon containers on our back deck which faces south. I get a better yield with the smaller cherry varieties then I would with beef steak. Easy too, just walk out the kitchen door.
