AnnualIndeterminate - Cherokee Purple is a beloved heirloom tomato known for its rich, smoky-sweet flavor and striking deep reddish-purple color. This variety produces large, beefsteak-style fruits with a dense, juicy texture. It’s a favorite for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh eating. Despite its rustic appearance and thin skin, it delivers exceptional taste and performs well in a variety of climates.

Beautiful healthy seeds, can’t wait to plant
Grew these Cherokee purple for the first time last year and these plants were massive! Easily 5 foot tall thick stems with heavy fruit. Fruit production wasn't the best but that was because I started this variety a little late into the season compared to my other tomatoes. Germination rate was great I'm going to give these another shot this year earlier in the season.
this company was too too slow in delivering and honestly as a master gardener in Zone 9 they should have sent it quicker then 3 weeks. Also I have raised lot and lots of tomatoes in my day all sorts including Cherokee purple. These are the weakest plants I have ever seen.
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.
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.
We absolutely love this game! Growing Season is fun to play, and easy enough to where even our 5 year old enjoys playing with us. Thank you for creating something that keeps us excited for for gardening season even in the middle of the snowy winter!
This game is so much fun, it's so unique, and it definitely keeps with the cabin fever in winter when we'd rather be out in the garden. Also the quality of it is better than any card or board game I've ever bought. Highly recommend!
Bought these seeds for Christmas and could not wait for spring to start them. They have been growing in my hydroponics now for about a month and with the cut and come again method I've been harvesting for about 2 weeks. The seeds have great germination. Kids and chickens are enjoying them.
I'm not just saying this because I am from the great state of New York, but the New Yorker tomato from MI Gardener is stupendous....It almost over-performed last summer (is that even possible?) I can't wait to get started with them again this year.!!
I used revive Rex last year with excellent outcomes. I wanted you to make sure I have it on had for this gardening season.
