Solanum lycopersicum var cerasiforme. These tomatoes have a bright, slightly acidic, classic tomato flavor, and are abundantly productive, even in hot/dry conditions. Their vigorous vines produce ample leaves to shade the 1/2" diameter fruit, and they don't need shade cloth even in the midst of the Tucson summer. Monica, our Conservati

Grows well in Colorado
I garden in north/central Colorado, and this has grown better than any other variety I've tried! It's weathered 100+ degree heat, dry winds, and intense sunlight with no supplemental water and is showing no signs of stress. The fruits are plentiful and delicious, not too sweet with a nice bright, acidic flavor. The size makes them perfect for snacking or adding to a salad.
The seedlings were a little slow to start compared to my other tomatoes, and more sensitive to overwatering, but once the weather warmed up they outperformed everyone else. Definitely growing this again!

Prolific and hardy but eh
These plants are thriving in the Denver area. Lots of fruit, loving the heat. Super prolific. Not my favorite cherry tomato though: lackluster in flavor, neither particularly sweet nor acidic. Won't be repeating these.
