I have been growing the same cherry for over 10 years. I ran out of seeds years back. Luckily a few volunteers popped up. I learned my lesson and I keep seeds every 2 years. These plants are disease resistant compared to beef steak or larger varieties. I just pulled them last week. They were still growing up top but the bottom 3rd was dead from blight disease. No genetic difference has been observed but much larger fruits in some clusters. I have never found a better cherry and tried seeds from the major sellers. I get all the catalogs. I am pretty sure that they were Burpee. They were my go to for a while.
Black tomatoes...Not weed.

If the volunteers' fruit are exactly the same as the mother that means that you can collect seeds from them and they'll grow the same.
Most of the best tomato varieties are heirlooms (stable) and you can just collect seed from a tomato year after year, and you'll get the same results.
Hybrids are typically inferior (typically but not always) in taste and texture but they are more disease resistant, vigorous and they store better and are what supermarkets generally sell.... you MAY find superior heirlooms in stores but it's less common and they'll probably cost more.
