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...

"There is No Substitute for Cherokee Purple !" Michele on 2/25/2010
Comments: Cherokee Purple have got to be one of the best heirloom tomatoes! Of all the "black" tomatoes, these have the best flavor and a good producer. I had no problems growing plenty of tomatoes in Massachusetts, and it was a VERY rainy season in 2009. I had a prolific season with these plants while many others around me lost theirs. Thank you Tasteful Garden!

"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.
