    Please rate out of 10 for TASTE : RIPENING TIME (earliness) : YIELD

    e.g.
    Moneymaker : 4 : 9 : 1
    This means 4/10 for taste (Mediocre, nothing special taste wise)
    9/10 for ripening (i.e. Good, was very early)
    1/10 for Yield (i.e. Poor, had few fruit)

    My experiences in order of best taste (Taste : Ripening : Yield) :
    Sungold F1: 10 : 10 : 9 (the sweetest)
    Floridity F1: 9 : 7 : 7
    Black Cherry: 9 : 6 : 9 (savoury flavour)
    New Girl: 7 : 9 : 6
    San Marzano: 7 : 2 : 5
    Golden Sunrise: 6 : 6 : 4 (very mellow flavour, thin skinned)
    Gigantomo 6 : 4 : 1 (Only had two fruit - not worth the effort)
    Orkado F1 : 5 : 4 : 5
    Gardener's Delight : 4 : 5 : 1 (won't be growing these again)
    Alicante: 2 : 3 : 4 (won't be growing these again)

        Cherokee Purple; 10. 5. 10

        I canned and dehydrated them, the taste is so good, this was my 4th year to grow them.
