Lycopersicon lycopersicum 'Sweet Million'

I have grown these for the past 4 or 5 years. They are fairly difficult to germinate from seeds, even with a temperature controlled heat mat. This is a prolific plant that produces thousands (maybe millions??) of wonderfully tasty tomatoes. I have seven varieties of tomatoes planted this year and all of them, except the sweet million, have been affected badly by alternaria fungal blight. I have Juliet, Sun Gold and a small Roma cherry-type tomato plants as well as a few salsa and meaty-type larger tomato plants. All of them have significant blight damage. The sweet million plant has just a few leaves that have been affected--it seems to have a pretty good resistance to this fungus.

I didn't think I liked cherry tomatoes, but these are really sweet, the skin is thin and yummy, and they are super easy and prolific. They taste more like a really good slicer. Mine is in my best organic soil and is over 6 feet high in late July. Will grow again.

Produced better than average tasting cherry tomatoes from July through September. I had one plant in the sun and one in a fairly well shaded spot and they both had good crops of 1 to 1.5 inch fruit in clusters of 6-8.

I planted a Sweet Million for the first time about four years ago, and it has produced at least one volunteer every year since. So, I grow it every year whether I like it or not (LOL). It is sweet and very productive. I have a hard time keeping up with all of the tomatoes (but if I let them rot on the ground I just get more volunteers!). They are a good cherry to snack on while you are gardening and kids love them.

This is the most prolific cherry tomato I've ever seen and one of the most delicious I've grown. I've had my whole neighborhood eating these tomatoes. And, here in the SF Bay Area, I had fruit until the frosts kicked in around Thanksgiving. Can't wait to grow this again next year.

This marvellous plant lives up to its name, that's for sure. One plant will produce ridiculous amounts of bright red, marble-sized sweet bites, enough to keep you snacking as you garden, snacking some more afterwards, plucking more for your harvest basket, fretting over the dozen or so that dropped as soon as you handled the plant, giving bunches away, and then finally hoping that the local wildlife will make use of what you can't (and it does!).

Excellent disease resistance, virtually no cracking. I didn't fertilize my Sweet Million plant and it wasn't even in full sun, and yet it was an outstanding specimen. It's a long vine but not too difficult to manage, and holds up nicely all the little tomatoes it bears. Pop one into your mouth and you'll experience a crisp, juicy burst of sweetness with little acid to speak of.

I preferred Sweet Baby Girl for flavor,and SWB's productivity is darned good, but Sweet Million is certainly nothing to sneeze at, and a great choice for those who only have room for one cherry tomato plant, like a sweet flavor and want to invest their efforts in a plant that isn't fussy or unreliable.

It's a keeper. Very sweet and tasty. Only problem was the one plant produced a million more tomato's than we needed. Will plant it in a smaller container this year to limit the production and plant size.

This little tomato is a star! This was my first year for growing tomatoes, and this plant out-performed all other varieties that I grew, hybrids and heirlooms. This plant tolerated and peformed in extreme heat (95+ in September) and kept up with production until the first freeze (production increasing as it cooled down). I also grew Sun Sugar, but the Sweet Million were much sweeter and pleasing (to me), and the plant was much more productive. In an added bonus for my yard, at least, this plant peformed well in fairly shady conditions which didn't favor many of the other tomato varieties that I tried. It also thrived in a container, even though the vine eventually grew to be over 6 feet tall. I think this is a pretty fail-safe tomato for beginners and will definitely be on my tomato list for spring planting.

Very very sweet and very very productive. The plants grew over 6ft and the amount of tomatoes that grew on them were amazing. I did Sweet 100 last year, but Sweet Million is much more productive, vigourous and the tomato flavors are even better than Sweet 100, in my opinion.

I live in the northern Illinois area. I have grown Sweet Million tomatoes every year for what must be 15 years now. I experimented first with Sweet 100, Supersweet 100 and Sweet Chelsea, but found that Sweet Million was sweeter, more crack-resistant and more productive.

Profilic, very sweet fruit.
