An old Cherokee Indian heirloom, pre-1890 variety from Tennessee. Cherokee Purple has a beautiful deep dusky purple-pink color, superb sweet flavor, and large sized fruit. Very attractive sliced on a plate. Try this one for real old-time tomato flavor. Plants produce large vines that yield 6-16 oz. beefsteaks.
