Have any of you grown Aunt Ruby's Yellow Cherry? It sounds pretty good and sweet; potentially very prolific, or not. 75 days or so. ¾" to 1" or so.

Thanks for the responses! I guess it's pretty rare. My interest regarding prolific round cherry versions of big, reputable slicers has been increasing, lately (such as this and Brandywine Cherry). It's a lot easier to get people to sample cherry tomatoes, in my experience. So, I'm looking for particularly tasty cherries. I know there are many with different criteria than outlined above. Some of the more promising sounding ones for taste (which don't meet the above criteria) I've read about seem to include these (excluding ones I've already grown): * SunGold F1, of course * Chocolate Sprinkles F1 * Black Cherry (growing this year) * Ambrosia Red * SunChocola F1 (growing an F2, this year) * SunOrange F1 * SunLemon F1 * SunPeach F1 * SunCherry * SunCherry Smile * Chocolate Cherry * Brown Berry (growing this year) * Austin's Black Cherry (growing this year) * Galina's * Green Doctors * Green Doctors Frosted * Esterina F1 (growing this year) * Post Office Spoonful * Garnet (growing this year) * Rosella (growing this year) * SunSugar F1 * Bing Cherry * Black Opal Not to mention the long cherries, and other shapes. I guess Chocolate Sprinkles F1 isn't round, either.

Since you don't mind hybrids, SunSugar F1 is another really good one. It's very sweet, but still tastes like a tomato. Very vigorous and productive plant, too. It's not properly a cherry, and it's not round, but Blush is a little snack-size tomato with excellent flavor. Very pretty, too: territorialseed.com/products/tomato-blush
