Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
I may have to try All Green Cherry--my grandmother's mother was Swedish and my grandmother loves all things Swedish. It might be the only way I ever convince her to try a GWR!Lotte wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 4:53 am I've grown a cherry I've got from Sweden from Åke Truedsson - All Green Cherry.That is a very sweet cherry and I like it very much.But I also like Green Doctors and Green Doctors Frosted.This year I'm growing a couple of new ones to me green cherries.Hope they will be great too, can't imagine they won't.

Hope you'll come back and give your opinion of the new varieties at the end of the season!

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
At foxtailferns - Of course you can try All Green Cherry.I have more varieties from Sweden, as I trade a lot with people from Sweden, so if you remember it in the fall or winter.....
Hope to be able to tell how the GWR varieties are, I'm really looking forward to them too.

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
I've tried Green Tiger twice and I'd say this is my favourite cherry variety for taste and production! Last year I tried another green cherry tomato: The Grinch. I'd say it's just fine, not something spectacular, but surely what is interesting with this variety is that no matter how much you leave it to ripen, it will stay true green!
This year, regarding green cherries, I also grow Green Krim. Let's see how this one tastes.

Verde Claro hands down. I've been growing it forever now and it was always highly regarded by Carolyn Male. My original seeds came from her. Seeds can be hard to come by now, only a couple vendors that I've seen carry it over the years.

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
You can help to keep them in circulation by saving some seed and sending them to Tormato for the MMMM swap. Hint, hint.Hunt-Grow-Cook wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 7:20 pm Verde Claro hands down.

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
I wasn't satisfied by Green Krim. I grew 2 plants in two different gardens. They are extremely productive, huge plants but not that tasty. They don't crack but they quickly become very ripe and soft. The taste is mediocre, not that good. They were so many and we didn't want to eat them, so I made sause only from Green Krim cherry. I have it in jar, didn't try it yetfoxtailferns wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 3:17 pmI was thinking of growing Green Krim next year.

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
The only real gwr cherry I have grown - and have taken seeds from - was Green grape. very sweet and I actually was not really impressed.
I should give it another chance and place it in another section of the yard.
Another smaller green one I grew - and loved - was Esmeralda Golosina, just delicious!! Something out of the world...

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
I have a new gwr variety (to me), that was also named Green Grape - seeds from Tomatofest. These were not very sweet at all, and have a very good, balanced flavor, much like the Sunrise this year. Here's a photo showing the size, next to Sunsugar, and the shape, not at all grape shape. I have not gotten a single split fruit from it, but the foliage was very dense, despite my pulling of suckers, as much as I could. Good flavor, but probably still won't grow again.

I used to grow the green tiger, and loved the flavor, but some years later, I tried the Lucky tiger, and almost every one split! When I got green tiger seeds later, the same thing happened, from 2 sources, so I never grew it again.

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
Yes, pepperhead212, that is the one I grew some years ago... really not too impressed. I still got plenty of seeds...
I love many other GWR varieties - including the Green Zebra and Siberial Malachite (a different one than the well known Malachitova Shtatulkaya.. aka 'Malachite Box'), but Green Grape was not a winner. Maybe so because it had fruits late into fall, and the flavour got stale.

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
I was looking at tomatoes to grow indoors for winter that I could put in a hanging basket but decided to grow them outside in the basket and was very pleased with how many tomatoes I got and the taiste to me was amazing I would say medium size cherry tomatoes not quit round more oval shape but definitely a huge producer and worth the wait there called cherry falls

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
I didn't catch that Cherry Falls name in there! Do they grow long vines, for trellis growing, too?

Re: Your Favorite GWR Cherry
If I had let mine grow wild they would of been out of control haha but I did measure and from where it came out of the pot to the end it didn’t get no longer than 20 inches but I had to trim off a lot of flowers because I was running out of time and I started mine April 2.
