I haven't had problems with cracking, except for once when I accidentally left some newly harvested fruits in a bowl of water while rinsing them. An hour later, every single one had cracked.
This is a mannerly, upright plant and barely required pruning.
The only downside I noticed was that it's hard to tell when the little guys are ripe, since the fruit is so pale. The 100% ripe ones are super sweet, but I accidentally harvested a lot at 80% ripe, which was still delicious.

Very tasty golden yellow cherry tomatoes that seem to replace themselves as you pick them. Delicious, sweet crunchy taste and adults and...Read More children loved them. One of my favorites.

Dr. Carolyn grew and produced well although the plants are less than half the size of the hybrid Jenny. I don't eat cherry tomatoes but I had no trouble disposing of them. They were used in salads and several folks ate them like table grapes. The pale yellow fruit is particularly attractive as most others are darker yellows to orange.
