I saw mention of a large cherry tom. called Irish Gardener's Delight.

When I look it up, I get seeds for Gardener's Delight. but one or two sources say "Irish" Gardener's Delight.

From the photos, they kind of look the same.

Anyone here know anything about this? I am always on the lookout for cherry or large cherry toms which aren't commonly known here. Thanx.

This isn't quite an answer to your question, but Gardener's Delight is also known as Sugar Lump. I was under the impression that this was originally a German tomato. Maybe there's an Irish version of it?

The 'Real Seeds' catalogue has a bit more information about the differences than most sources.

Thanks, folks. And esp. to you, Tim DH, for pointing me to this:

Our supposedly 'Gardener's Delight' - Small but Supersweet Irish Version

This version was originally from a small seed collection in USA, labelled 'Irish Gardeners Delight'. It has definitely got smaller fruit than what we would normally expect, and we're pretty sure now that it's not really 'Gardeners' Delight' at all, being more in the style of the smaller cherry types such as 'Sweet 100'.

BUT , and it's a big 'but', the flavour is great. This is the sweetest cherry tomato we've ever tried. And the fruit, although small, are produced in huge numbers on enormously long trusses.

We weren't going to list it any more, but many visitors to the gardens pointed out that it was one of the best cherries they'd ever tasted, so we thought we ought to leave it in the catalogue! And it is now one of our most popular. Get your seed now, you won't be disappointed.

This variety slows down if we have a cool spell in late spring/early summer, but it starts growing again once temperatures rise again.

So, I guess that's the final word I need. However, if they think it's the sweetest cherry tom., they haven't tried Matt's Wild Cherry. Trouble with Matt's is that it grows many feet in every direction. You need a large wall to place it against.
