Naturally, the one plant with the biggest green tomato is the one I'm not sure of the variety. I also have a few volunteers that I'm letting grow. Anyone else try the black cherry? As far as I know the seeds are only available from Tomato Growers Supply, and for me anyway they have a poor germination rate. They're so good I grow them anyway.

Chuck, over half of those varieties I've never heard of.
It's funny how I guessed what the plants would be in size by their names and appearance when I got them. I thought the sweet 100's would be small plants...WRONG. My large red cherry plants are just barely 3' tall and slightly smaller than the early girls. Easily the tallest plants are my Porters and the better boys not far behind. Sugar snacks are also large plants. I knew I would have to add additional support to the sides of my 3' and 4' cages, but I just didn't expect it this soon. As soon as I can get into my muddy garden, I've got to add an additional foot to my cages because all my plants are over the top.
