Best sweet slicer type?

14 years ago

I plan on having 3 30g homemade earthboxes here on the patio just for tomatoes, 2 plants per box. They need to be heirloom or at least OP.

I grow a lot of tomatoes (100? plants of 22 varieties last year) at a friend's farm for the farmer's market, but these are for me. It's tough to pick just 6 and while I do prefer cherries I want at least one slicer.

So far: Sungold(hybrid I know...but love it!)or the OP Sungold Select, Black Cherry or Brown Berry, Green Grape, Matt's Wild Cherry.

I have 2 plants yet to decide on so I need help. I prefer colored tomatoes - green, gold, black. It needs to be sweet & full of tomato flavour.

Thanks :)

Try Black Brandywine, not too large a tomato, but great flavor. For a super sweet, but reddish, tomato, Marianna's Peace is the sweetest I've tasted.

Dr. Wyche's, a yellow tomato, is also great! It has a hint of tropicalness, one of my favorites!

I've had pink and a burgundy/crimson brandywine. They look different than the usual orangy toms and both taste all right. I'm still using the seeds ordered online years ago so I don't remember their names. Is it what NEveg called black bw? Maybe someone more familiar with brandywine can help.

I would recommend Gold Medal. It has a sweet flavor and a very creamy texture. The fruits are large and the productivity has always been good for me.
