Cherokee Purple Tomato

Cherokee Purple Tomato – Organic Heirloom 4” Plant

‘Cherokee Purple’ is one of the most celebrated heirloom tomatoes and is widely considered the gold standard among black tomatoes. Believed to trace back more than 100 years to the Cherokee people, this variety is prized for its unmatched flavor and rich texture.

The large beefsteak fruits weigh 12–16 ounces and feature brownish-purple skin with green shoulders and deep red flesh. The flavor is exceptionally sweet, complex, and full-bodied, making it a favorite for fresh slicing.
