I'll have to go by last year's crop since the green grape tomatoes were
all gone! :-(

The Green Grapes for the last two years were basically the same size as
the Yellow Pear and Black Plum. They are not as prolific as Sun Gold and
Yellow Pear or even Dr. Caroline but the size is still respectable; they
are a small tomato.

As for difference in care, my are all cared for the same way. Most of my
plants are heirloom varieties which all do well.

Just my experience.
