Grew Tasmanian chocolate, gold nugget, stm2255, BHN 589, joelene, celebrity plus, floradade, and black angel. Rainy season so I dont think its fair to knock these varieties on disease resistance and low production. Grew these to compete with roma tomatoes production but with hopes of tasting better.
Tasmanian chocolate had great flavor, but tomatoes were quite small. Growing again during the tomato season to see how much increased sunlight will increase productivity.
Gold nugget was recommended on here. A must grow from now on. Compact determinate cherry tomato plant, highly productive, and great flavor. Not as delicious as black cherry or a sungold, but sweet enough for me.
Stm2255 just now started to fruit. Not sure if I'll try this one again.
BHN 589 died.
Floradade died both attempts.
Joelene's production was weird. Initially one large tomato then producing a few more after I picked that first tomato. Good flavor, but a little too juicy. Might grow again.
Celebrity plus just doesnt want to produce. Healthy plant, a lot of flowers, pollinate once a day. Might be too hot here?
Black Angel (picture) might be the one to beat romas for me. So many tomatoes at once. Nice shaped. Very few blemishes. Have one ripening on a windowsill. Hope they taste amazing.
