Indeterminate - 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.

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.
Thank you again!
Looking forward to try these beautiful Cherokee Purples!

This variety of sweet corn is incredibly durable in our warmer southern climate. It has endured hot temps and is even thriving. We look forward to enjoying our early fall harvest soon.
I think I bought 5 packets which was good for covering 2/6ft beds
Everything grew quickly, lots of nitrogen fixers and it's all still thick & lush. I will chop & mulch into the soil after all this rain probably around December for the winter/spring garden season here in FL
Producing wonderfully :)
This doesn't fail to impress. Great variety that successfully blooms throughout the season!
Great seed quality!
