Description

The listing, HEIRLOOM - Cherokee Purple Tomato - 15 SEEDS has ended.

A beloved heirloom as valuable for its flavor as it is for its unusual look, Cherokee Purple sets giant beefsteaks weighing about a pound and filled with intense violet-purple hues. This is a true legacy plant, believed to have originated more than 120 years ago in the Cherokee nation in Tennessee. The vining plant is very heavy bearing, and each of these tomatoes is a masterpiece of color, flavor, and history.

Slightly ridged and very symmetrically shaped, these tomatoes combine juiciness with a strong tomato tang, the type unknown to those rock-hard supermarket varieties. They may need some support as they mature on the plant, their massive weight pulling them downwards. Stake this vigorous plant well and then offer a little extra help to bring in its crop of giants!

Is this beautiful tomato good for just eating out salads, or does it make good juice or sauces as well?

These are great for salsas, sandwiches and salads as well as for their juice. They don't make a great sauce tomato as they are more juice than flesh so you won't get a really thick sauce. Hope that helps!
