Cherokee Purple Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum 'Cherokee Purple'
Full sun
Regular
Mid–late summer

A beloved heirloom with dusty rose–purple skin and deep, complex flavour. Heavy bearer on indeterminate vines; stake early and remove suckers to keep the plant focused on fruit.

"Plant out after last frost and they'll take off. I got 40+ lbs from one vine in Zone 9b last year."
— Maria G. · Zone 9b
