Description:
Cherokee Purple Tomatoes are an Indian heirloom that was one of the first varieties made available to the general growing community.
These tomato plants are bushy and can reach up to 4 ft. tall, producing large 5” fruits that have deep, dusky purple colors. Tomatoes grow heavy, weighing anywhere between 12-16 oz, and have very smooth flesh.
Known for their delicious, sweet flavor, Cherokee Purple Tomatoes are the perfect variety to slice up for sandwiches or salads. Their rich and full flavor sticks around after each bite you take. No wonder Cherokee Purple Tomatoes are so popular!
