Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds

Cherokee Purple is a well-known heirloom beefsteak tomato from the United States, valued for its large, flattened fruits and unusual dusky pink to purplish-brown colour. The fruits often develop green shoulders and can reach an impressive size.

Cherokee Purple has a rich, complex and pleasantly sweet tomato flavour. The large fruits are juicy, meaty and intensely flavoured. The plants grow vigorously with an indeterminate growth habit and can continue producing large fruits over an extended period under good growing conditions.

Botanically, the variety belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum. Its aromatic, juicy flesh makes Cherokee Purple particularly suitable for fresh salads, sandwiches, burgers and eating straight from the garden. It can also be used very well for sauces and other tomato dishes.

This variety is ideal for anyone looking to grow an heirloom beefsteak tomato with large fruits, an unusual dark colour and a particularly intense tomato flavour.
