AnnualIndeterminate- 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!

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!

Very happy with my purchase. I planted 40 seeds and they all germinated! Felt like I ran the lottery. Haven’t had a harvest yet but they are growing well. Already knee high. Very happy with my purchase
This is my second year ordering the bare root strawberry plants, and I will say these are the healthiest plant starts!! I will order again
I loved my Chandler Blueberries. I have had it for a year now. As a beginner blueberry grower, I loved how easily it is to maintain the plant in its healthy state. I live in Zone 7. It lived through its first winter snow, and sprouted back up in Spring, just shows how cold-hardy it can be. It is now slowly blooming. Hopefully in the next few years it will produce me some juicy blueberries!
Not so great raw, but awesome sautéed and in soups! Grows great in warm climate. It takes a while to get started, but once it takes off, it doesn't stop! Very easy for new gardeners ❣️
Once the bare root arrived, I immediately saw a sprout growing from the tip. I was pleasantly surprised it had gone out of dormancy. It is currently growing healthy green foliage outside in part shade and full sun. I see a few grape clusters though unfortunately I have to cut them, so the plant’s roots fully establish.
