Talk:Sungold X Mom's

B.C SA D's notes

• 2008-04-23 the seedlings (4) have very different foliage. It is not clear where would the wispy foliage come from as neither Sungold nor Mom's have this trait.
• 2008-07-31 Four plants all now have baby fruit. I expected a little more variation in the F2, however Plant 3 looks like it might be bigger than a cherry.
• 2008-08-28 Sungold x Mom's F2 Plant 1 - while this cherry was juicy, with nice 'acid' it was rather one dimensional, and skins were tough. I thought this one would be light yellow, but ended up almost apricot, good thing I waited. Plants 2 and 3 have slightly larger fruit starting to lighten up; Plant 4 has small fruit, red in colour (not yet tasted).
• 2008-09-18 Mid-September and the tomatoes are finally starting to come in... The fruits from the four plants of the Sungold x Mom's F1 gave a nice diverse selection - gold, pink and red cherries. Taste test results to follow. I'm hoping the large pink cherry will be up there in taste - if yes I think we have something worth growing out next year! All are decent croppers for cherry types - but Plant 3 is somewhat later in ripening.
• Taste results:
  • Plant 4: red, another nice one - more on the acid side, juicy, nice depth, skins a bit tough.
  • Plant 3: red, my least favourtie - little flavour, skins somewhat tough - latest of all.
  • Plant 2: pink, very nice, on the sweet side, juicy, smooth, worth growing again.
  • Plant 1: gold, mellow, not as juicy as the others; on the sweet side - earliest of the four plants.
