Thanks Christine for the "heads up" The Cherokee I had was fine in shape, though I had never seen them growing on the vine. What I was referring to in the quote above was the shape rather looking like Elephant Man's disease with convolutions in every direction. I guess something rather small for most, say up to the size of a softball is more to my general preference, i.e., your basic tomato bursting with balanced, dare I say "old time" flavor, a producer, with some resistance so it won't just shrivel up and succumb to the georgia climate and clay just about the time they reach fruiting size.
