Cherokee Purple Tomato

SKU:

per item

 On most "Top 5" lists for flavor, this unusual tomato is an heirloom from the Cherokee nation. Wonderful sweet/tart balance. Handles high summer heat really well. The color varies between the maroon-and-green of the usual "black" tomato to a crimson purple tone. When you taste one you won't care what color it is--the flavor is what this tomato is all about. The plants are indeterminate but compact. They continue to make fruit until frost, but they don't make a big sprawling vine. Some concentric cracking is normal, and can be controlled by using mulch and keeping the moisture level fairly even. Has innate resistance to disease, and has been completely trouble-free for us. 25 seeds
