Unit price per🍅 Tomato – Cherokee Purple (Heirloom)
(Solanum lycopersicum)
Rich, complex, and full of character, Cherokee Purple tomato is a standout heirloom variety prized for its deep, smoky flavour and unique colouring. Producing large, slightly flattened fruits with dusky purple‑red skins and green shoulders, this tomato is as visually striking as it is delicious.
The flesh is juicy and tender, with a distinctive balance of sweetness and depth that sets it apart from standard tomatoes. Often described as having a rich, old‑fashioned taste, Cherokee Purple is especially valued for fresh slicing, salads, and gourmet dishes where flavour truly matters.
This variety grows on vigorous, indeterminate vines that continue producing throughout the season, rewarding gardeners with generous harvests of large, premium fruit. While it takes a little more patience to mature, the exceptional taste makes it well worth the wait.
