| Positive | stormygace | On Dec 23, 2009, stormygace from kure beach, NC (Zone 7b) wrote: Not the most productive & was affected by blight (but the cuttings I took at first sign of blight rooted & produced until frost) but my, oh my, the flavor & texture. Tender skin, sweet with good balance of acid, almost a fruity nose & nice texture (not mealy or a sack o seed). I recommend taking cuttings as this worked so well to get around whatever was croaking out the original. To be fair this plant was placed in a loamy sand new bed that was roughly augmented. This cherry has earned a placed in the feted raised beds for next year. This was preferred over SunGold 4:1 so I'll just plant several plants - LOL! | | Neutral | azruss | On Dec 20, 2009, azruss from Marana, AZ (Zone 8b) wrote: Vigorous plant, pretty and tasty cherry tomatoes, but the production was far too low for me to make this a keeper. | | Positive | dorisv | On Sep 14, 2008, dorisv from Oakland, CA wrote: Wonderful flavor and nice plump cherry size. It got off to a slow start in my yard and I would call the yield only average, but the flavor has won me over. I will plant this again next year. | | Positive | Loretta_NJ | On Oct 1, 2007, Loretta_NJ from Pequannock, NJ wrote: Not terribly prolific but I wouldn't go by my experience on that. It was in part shade and none of my tomatoes grow optimally. Still, it is tall.
Taste was great. A really nice fresh taste, juicy, sweet and not mealy or acidic. Similar to a well ripened black cherry. Better than Green Grape. A kid (that eats tomatoes) would like this one.
Skin wasn't too tough either, softer than Sungold. Color was same as Kidsparrow's pictures. By then, the fruit had a little give and was good to eat. | | Positive | LooneyLinda | On Jun 29, 2007, LooneyLinda from Mantua, UT (Zone 4b) wrote: I agree with Lissy J. Isis has great flavor if allowed to ripen completely. I found that it needs to be almost a coral color on the bottom for best taste. | | Positive | LissyJ | On May 24, 2007, LissyJ from Stansbury Park, UT (Zone 6a) wrote: Isis candy was a great cherry tomato in my garden last year. It has a nice sweet flavor that is like eating candy if they are left on the vine to ripen all the way. I like how neat the tomato looked. I posted a photo of the bi-color streaks that this tomato has. | | Neutral | berrygirl | On Mar 3, 2007, berrygirl from Braselton, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: Fruits are marbled with red. Rich flavor is a complex blend of sweetness and fruitiness. Each fruit has a spectacular cat's eye starburst on the blossom end. Plants are loaded with 1 1/2" fruits on short trusses in double rows of 6-8. Indeterminate, 70-80 days from transplant. | | Neutral | bluekat76 | On Aug 2, 2006, bluekat76 from Ijamsville, MD (Zone 6b) wrote: I grew this one last year and the taste was nothing to write home about. Maybe it wasn't my year. | | Neutral | Big_Red | On Dec 26, 2004, Big_Red from Bethelridge, KY (Zone 6a) wrote: Medium to large bi-color cherries. Fruity and very sweet. Gold with red streaks splashing into the flesh. Productive. |
