Fellow tomato lovers,
Don't often chime in here... but the cherry tomato thang is like a religion around here. We're in chilly New England (MA). We ditto strong votes for black cherry, green grape and Isis candy, both large, exotic, plum-like fruits with sweetness, unusual colors + complex flavor! but alas, like many, prone to cracking - so we mostly do them as huge "trees" in the premium hoophouse -- where they continue to fruit nicely to this day!
Having said that (and me being quite an heirloom fanatic) I must also state that in my experience, culture usually trumps variety. So, even as much as I love trafficking in all the amazing heirloom varieties, I'd still rather have a well grown (compost, etc) hybrid than a gnarly, neglected heritage fruit.
