gman, how big does this get? I grow pear tomatoes on an arbor but I cannot say that they taste that great. They are cute though-and prolific. I would not mind trying a new yellow cherry.

This is my first year growing this variety, so I can't say for sure yet. Last year all of my inderterninate cherry varieties went over the top of my cages and back down. They ran from 9 to 14+ feet long, so I expect something similar for these.

Aren't they fun? I get the $5 arbors for the cherries. Then I hope there is enough shade under them to grow some lettuce for the BLT. Keep us posted on this one.

I grew Sungold last year and I can highly recommend them. They ripen from yellow to a beautiful gold color. They were very prolific, producing lots of fruit up til the first frost. They have a sweet delicious flavor, candy on a vine. The plants were approximately 10'. By the way, they were the first variety to set fruit this year. I can't wait to get my hands on a ripe one.

Once I know more on these Sweet Gold, I'll add a comment in the PDF and a picture of the ripe fruit.

Lol gman. I am glad I am not the only one with monster plants. I grow lemon boy for canning. Their bright yellow is very showy in a jar. It too is the first to ripen though it was the last planted in the garden. I will put sungold on the gotta try this list.
