RE: Tomatoes beginning with R - Garrett - 20-02-2026

I've grown three of those:

Red Cherry - very good flavour, it has that classic old fashioned tangy tomato flavour. I grew it for a few years as my Gardener's Delight substitute. Vigorous, productive plants.

Red Zebra - pretty, but nothing special. I didn't notice much difference to Tigerella and unlikely to grow it again.

Reinhard's Purple Sugar - absolutely delicious, it has something of a blackberry note, very fruity flavour. My only criticism is that the skin was a bit thicker than I like. Highly recommend if you don't mind some chewy skin.

I have ruby falls and red zebra and ruthje waiting to be given a chance.

I love rosella. My favourite cherry
Reinhard's Purple Sugar I’ve grown, I believe on Garrett recommendation. Unfortunately I don’t have the same love for it. Don’t know if it doesn’t like life in Scotland or it just didn’t like my growing methods. But I found the flavour to be underwhelming and not very productive at all.
I think I’ve tried raspberry oxheart. It may have been one that failed to germinate. I don’t remember anything about other than the name.

I have no other R’s in my collection
