Product Details
✓Rich Heritage and Distinctive Flavor: Cherokee Purple Tomatoes trace back over a century to the Cherokee Nation, offering an heirloom-quality, rich, and complex tomato flavor that far surpasses common hybrids.
✓Large, Vibrant Beefsteak Fruits: Produces hefty, slightly ridged beefsteak tomatoes that weigh up to 1 pound each, featuring a stunning violet-purple color and a juicy, meaty texture perfect for slicing and fresh eating.
✓Continuous Production All Season: As an indeterminate variety, Cherokee Purple continues to grow and produce fruits throughout the summer, with plants that benefit from thinning flowers if you wish to focus on larger individual tomatoes.
✓Support Needed for Heavy Harvests: These vigorous plants require staking and may need additional support to handle the weight of the large, dense fruits, ensuring successful harvests even in peak production periods.
✓Easy Growing and Seed Saving Opportunity: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors when danger of frost has passed and soil is warm. Save seeds from mature fruits to continue the tradition and protect this historic heirloom for future generations.
