Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme
Now September, and there still producing fruit. I had to pick about 200-300 that were left all the way until before the first frost; brought them inside and they all turned red, but not all at once, maybe a dozen a day, enough for a salad.

This is another tomato plant in my garden, they are round, but I am not sure if they are cherry tomatoes or just the normal tomatoes which turned out to be round [rather than the usual oval], this year. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/168...
Never heard that kind.. I'll check that out.
Ca't imagine, such number of fruits in such a fragile plant. We also get to buy cherry tomatoes in our super markets but the one which is more common is the flavr savr variety with thick coat . http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/170... The ones that have fruited this month here, I think it is cherry tomato,[ It is small and round but the coat is thick]. I will try to take a picture tomorrow.
Ya these are 'cherry' tomatoes much smaller, and this cultivar is recently new, it produces probably 300 fruits a season/plant!
I had 8 plants here, so throughout the season over a thousand cherry tomatoes easy.
The tomatoes in my garden also have fruits. Not so much, they have just started to fruit [just 2 or 3 fruits]
200-300 fruit, that's a lot, from how many plants.
