Indeterminate- This Tennessee heirloom is believed to have been passed down by Native Americans of the Cherokee tribe. The plant is open-pollinated, indeterminate, bearing 8 oz flattened globe fruits that are dark reddish-purple to black. It is meaty tomato with a bold flavor. Won best-tasting tomato in 2012. Let it fully ripen on the vine before harvesting for the best flavor!

Gorgeous tomato! Although, the plant needed a bit of help growing.

Great tasting tomato, but compared to many of my other varieties, this one always lags a teeny bit behind the rest? its nothing terribly dramatic, but, just something I've noticed.

I finally gave up on the Cherokee Purple in the PNW

Such a good taste but in my climate the cracking was so severe that it wasn't worth trying to eat. I would try growing Cherokee Purple if I had a polytunnel or green house to keep the rain off the fruit. The disappointment year after year caused me to abandon this variety for something more reliable.

Classic.

Deep color with rich flavor to match. Juicy, meaty. Excellent as a tomato sandwich. Produces mega blooms.
