But to `Sweet Million`-it`s very nice and is it still classed as an F1 hybrid? It may be but there is a long story behind that.
It will come true from saved seeds-trust me I did it for years.

http://www.suttons.co.uk/Gardening/V...ion_181392.htmHere it is and classed F1-but it does come true. As I said it`s a long story.
Next season all do try other varieties-no need to go crazy but I would suggest `Black Russian` as a standard tomato.

I have grown 'Sweet Million' for several years now, it's a smashing, small and sweet cherry I agree.
Never tried saving the seed though.
I also like Gardeners Delight, which is a slightly bigger cherry than sweet million.
