Thanks for the tip on a super-sweet yellow cherry"sungold". have yet find one but will sure try your rec..
Gave up on yellow cherries and went back to the "yellow plum" I remember from childhood-in ohio of the long grow season... good tomato flavor, great in salads-nice appearance, but not so early we always get good crop her in sunny but short-season Boulder, CO.! Anyone know of an early high yielding sweet yellow plum.. or ditto for a red plum??
A hint especially for westerners. our clay soils here are alkaline. never need calcium or "bone meal" always needs a trace of magnesium as in milk of mag or mag sulfate.. and magnesium stops blossom end rot -totally!
Sweet one hundred was a big hit on a west facing brick wall 8 years ago- the grandkids actually ate them on purpose! But sweet million was a low yielder of smaller fruits, and not any tastier. and "sweetie-supposedly" a LARGE cherry was slow and no bigger than sweet 100... Any recommendations for the earliest-biggest-sweetest tomato for that wall? another crop of grandkids coming!
I think different things end up working well in different areas, and production can vary year to year also.
If you want an early tomato that's a little bigger, 'Stupice' (red) and 'Jaune Flamme' (orange, red blush on inside when fully ripe) are two of my earliest-producing favorites. They are mostly 3-bite tomatoes. I did grow 'Juliet' one year (hybrid, I think), and it produced tasty 2-bite tomatoes (almost more of a salad size despite its cherry description).
