The best tomato we have ever tasted! This tomato will convince you to grow Heirloom varieties. They are from the Tennessee Cherokee Indians, discovered over 100 years ago and have a thin skin and soft texture. When fully ripened they have dark reddish-purple color, full acidity and rich, old fashioned, sweet flavor. Make sure to mulch for best results and hold back on the watering. Our best results were during a 8 week drought with minimal drip watering. 80 days More details...

"Delicious"

Laura on 9/19/2008

Comments: they were a bit tough to grow this year with all of the rain but fabulous as usual if you have not tried them do!

My Rating Is:

"Absolutely The BEST"

Paul on 9/8/2008

Comments: I wish I could have these all year. This year the fruit is absolutely gigantic in size and taste.

My Rating Is:

"I'd give it a 10 if I could"

Patty on 9/5/2008

Comments: I used to be a Bradley fan, but it pales in comparison to Cherokee Purple. Far and away, the best tasting tomato I've ever eaten, much less grown.

My Rating Is:

"Best tasting"

Nancy on 9/5/2008

Comments: This is the best tasting tomato I have grown. Make sure you have a support system in place; the tomatoes are huge on a tall plant.

My Rating Is:

"Cherokee Purple"

Judy on 9/5/2008

Comments: Another delicious heirloom, though I do find they lose their firmness, almost overnight, if you let them get just a little too ripe... but quite tasty and juicy. Best to eat them shortly after picked.
