This variety produces a very large and tall growing plant. It grew well over 8' tall in my raised bed. I had to add 8' bamboo poles in my tomato cages and then let them flop over from there. In the picture below, you can see how tall and healthy the plants were.

Fruit-wise, they are not as sweet as Sweet 100s, but had a nice flavor. They produced clusters of tomatoes that were easy to pick, and they didn't fall off all over the ground as they ripened. They lasted a long time on the countertop.

In summary, this is a great variety for the following reasons:
1 - Very healthy plants
2 - Produced an abundance of fruit, in clusters of 10 or more.
3 - The fruit stays on the plant and doesn't drop all over the ground in wind or when slightly over ripe.
4 - I did not water them the 1st 4 weeks of our August drought and they did not wilt.
5 - Flavor was good. Note: that the skins were a little tough, and they are not as sweet as Sweet 100. My husband wasn't a huge fan of these, he's a diehard Sweet 100 fan, where I am not, due to how messy Sweet 100s can be and how quicky they spoil on the counter.
6 - The Black Cherry tomato has tough skins, that kept them from cracking and quickly spoiling, like sweet 100 do.

I kept seeds for planting in 2025, but I am still on the hunt for a Sweet 100 replacement that meets both my and my husband's expectations. Will be purchasing a different variety from MIgardener for next year. I will continue this path until I find the perfect cherry tomato for my husband and I.

Zone 7, wonderful taste, prolific. I only grew one plant this year, but will definitely grow more next year. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite tomato varieties this year! It grew like bonkers & I had to add a wireless trellis and extra stakes to keep it from snapping. I originally single staked it but it became clear I needed more support when I let the suckers grow after ~3’ tall. It did ripen a lot later than my other tomato varieties (tons and tons of green tomatoes) but it was so worth the wait! So sweet and so tasty fresh! Plus, the plant is still growing strong even into now November! Thank you - I’m definitely growing Black Cherry tomatoes again next season!

These are large and prolific. They taste great and are SO large and SO prolific all through mid-to late summer (zone 5b). These are now my favorite cherry tomato! Love them on salads or just popping them anytime.

I planted this much later than all of my other plants. It had a rough start because it was pretty neglected in its seedling cup. I didn't think it was going to make it, but I thew it in a pot to see what would happen. It took off right away and was incredibly prolific! Tons of dark purple fruit! It tested at an 8.5 on the refractometer which is my sweetest tomato yet! Definitely plan to pant this one again next year since it's perfect for snacking on in the garden and tossing into salads and roasted in sauces. Yum!
