Has anyone grown Large German Cherry? How does it taste? How did it hold up against what diseases?

I've been searching for an OP early red indeterminate reportedly prolific large RL temperature-tolerant round cherry tomato for a while, now. So, I'm pretty happy about finding this.

Victory Seeds often reports longer days to maturity; so, it's likely earlier than 70 days in many gardens.

I'm not sure how Large German Cherry is with temperature, but everything else looks great so far, as far as I can tell.

Disclaimer: I edited some more content in after the first reply (the temperature stuff and the fruit shape).

Cool. Thanks. Some others that come pretty close (if they don't all-out meet my criteria) are probably these:

- Peacevine Cherry
- Large Red Cherry
- Camp Joy (I've grown this one. The taste and fruit size is good, for sure. It's supposed to tolerate heat pretty well, too.)

Tel Aviv Train might fit your criteria. No personal experience with it; just one of the varieties I received via the MMMM and haven't yet found room for in the garden.
