Tomato 'Sun Sugar'

My mother insists that I grow these every year, since now they're her favorite, over Sweet Million, Sweet 100, and (gasp!) SunGold! We fo...Read Moreund them to have thinner skins, better taste, and less cracking than those others. Almost indistinguishable from the SG in taste, better performance overall. Very important in the PNW, with our cool nights and moderate days.
A little too sweet if they over-ripen, (this only happens if I miss one under a leaf), really good keepers, and just beautiful in a salad, when they make it into the house. This year, they were more prolific than ever, and I'm planning on trying to dry some, on the advice from others on the web. Mmmmmmmmmm!!!!

I just received my first plant from a friend. It is so tall! The fruits that I have tried at their home were so delicious that I can't wa...Read Moreit until these start to produce. There were no other postings from MT, so just to let you know that they have had excellent results with this variety in the bitterroot valley.

Very tasty in pasta and fresh salsa recipes as well as right off the vine. My entire family loves these tomatoes.

I grew Sun Sugar right next to Sungold this year, so I've compared the taste many many times. Sun Sugar is not quite as sweet, but more t...Read Moreomatoey, with thicker skin and a meatier texture. Very good, but not quite as flavorful as Sungold.

A sweet cherry, maybe not quite as good as SunGold. It grew and produced fairly well in a semi-shaded location.

I have been growing sun sugar for about 2 years - I only plant one plant that my neighbor would give to me and i would have to cut it bac...Read Morek 5-7 times in a season - it gets huge - they are my Golden Retiriver "bodie"'s favorite - she waits everyday when I come home to go pick tomatoes!!! - One question how come you cannot dry the seeds and sprout them in the spring?

I have grown this tomato for about five years now. I has a very sweet fruity taste. I eat them from the garden like a kid in a candy st...Read Moreore. They are very prone to spliting.

Sunsugar was delicious! I found they do split but the taste is worth it!

Very sweet and fuity. Just a little bit sweeter the Sungold. Great snack, but I would agree that it does lack that tomatoey flavour. Hey,...Read More it still tastes good to me. It is very fast growing, heavy producer. Last summer was very wet and cool and this was the first to get late blight.

This has been my family's favorite cherry tomato for years. It is a heavy cropper and has pretty good disease resistance. It has a nice...Read More sweet nonacid flavor and looks beautiful in a salad. This is the only hybrid tomato I grow in my garden because I haven't found an open-pollinated cherry to match the flavor yet. Be happy to take any suggestions :o).

A very tasty, and beautiful, little tomato. In my experience, it has more "real tomato" flavor than most varieties of cherry tomato plus...Read More a little hint of fruitiness. The only problem with it is that over-ripe fruits develop a sort of fermented super sweet flavor that I think is unpleasant. The vines are fast growing and highly productive. I have also grown Sungold, but frankly can't tell the difference between the two. They are interchangable as far as I am concerned.

Very sweet--but that's all I can say. Not much flavor. Sungold is much better.

Delicious- tart when not fully ripe, super sweet when fully ripe. Very prolific plant that must be pruned well if you dont have a lot of space.

We grew these for the first time this year and they are wonderful!

We grow this one year after year. In fact, it is the only hybrid we put in our garden. Very dependable, very prolific plants that just do...Read Moren't stop. Super taste, very sweet with nice tart bite. These are the best eat in the garden before they make it to the kitchen tomatoes.

To me they don't taste like tomatoes, even cherry tomatoes. They are kind of fruity and have a distinctive flavor. Very sweet which is a ...Read Moreplus but the skin is very thick.

Sweetest, most consistently productive cherry-size tomato we've grown to date. A bit of a citrusy finish to the taste. It is like eating ...Read Morea little sugar cube.

I planted one start from the nursery and it shot up to seven feet tall. It was prolific and crack resistant and continued to produce muc...Read Moreh longer than I expected. The taste was as sweet as the name implied. I have limited garden space and I planted in a deep patio pot. I caged it in with long bamboo stakes and twine. Nothing else would have been tall enough to hold it up. It was quite wonderful and I plan to plant it again this year. Portland, Oregon

Sunsugar has the same excellent flavour as Sungold, but the fruits are much less prone to splitting than those of Sungold. Ideally I thin...Read Morek that they should be trained with four main stems, but that is not easy. I have let them grow rampant and just feed and water them ,with just a little thinning of the shoots.

We are in Zone 2, planted purchased sets and planted June 7th into good bog soil base. We found that the plants grew rapidly to approxim...Read Moreately 7 feet (they grew out of the 3.5 tomato cages, draped to the ground and climbed back up and over the other plants) The grape-like growth made them easy to harvest and it was and has been very prolific production (about a pint to a quart a day) since August 5th. We have eaten them from the vine, they store well up to 10 days, and maintain their color and form when hot-packed. It is now September 29th, the first frosts have touched our area and still this gallant little tomato is covered with little tomatoes in various stages of ripeness. It is also covered with late blooms. We will definitely plant it again.

A very sweet cherry tomato - nice size, although not as big as the grape-types. Like most cherry tomatoes, very prolific.

Better than store-bought, but not as sweet as Sweet 100. I will try a different variety next year--I'm not that enthusiastic about this one.
