I would have to say, since I grow it every year, Chadwick's Cherry/Camp Joy.

I think I planted something called Sweet 100 Cherry Tomatoes. I got tons of tomatoes that kept coming until it got really cold.

Sweet 100 was pretty good, I'll agree. I'm sure other reds could be better, but I've not grown many. Sweet 100 really does produce loads.

Maskotka is one of my favorite cherry tomatoes. Growth habit is determinate but bushy. A striking characteristic of this variety is that the unripe fruits are a glorious, lime green color for the whole of the time they remain unripe until they finally translate into gorgeous-tasting, thick-walled, large, firm, red cherries. There is a picture at www.thompson-morgan.com/seeds1/product/853/1.html. I sourced my seeds direct from Simpsons Seeds in the UK. Skip

Black Cherry Tomato www.durgan.org/URL/?LZLEW 26 August 2009 Black Cherry Tomato Most of the cherry type tomatoes have been grown over the years, and this Black Cherry Tomato is the best. The fruit is dark, very tasty, and the fruit is a good size, skin is thin. Everybody in my vicinity likes them. There are two plants in the garden, and fruit growth is prolific more than enough for a family. The fruit is dark red when fully ripe. www.durgan.org/URL/?XIZFD Black Cherry Tomato, Indeterminate More information

Nope, just can't do it! Can't list just one! But some of my favorites in the small red category are: Camp Joy, Matt's Wild, Red Currant, and Sweet 100. T

Matts Wild Cherry I got the seeds from "Seeds of Change" in their 09 catalog. This years catalog didnt have them listed. So I plan on saving seeds from this beastly monster this season.
I kid ya not.....this variety would not stop producing, 300+ little candys per plant. And the taste was better than black cherry, sun gold etc....IMO.
If anybody has grown this, you know what kind of gaging is required. Lots and lots of caging!
