"Germinate: 05 – 14 Days - Matures: 75 – 90 Days After Transplanting"
Cherokee Purple tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) are indeterminate, heirloom, non-GMO plants with sweet, rich flavor. They self-pollinate and yield colorful 8–16 oz fruit from summer until frost. The vigorous vines require staking or trellising, and the tomatoes are both visually appealing and tasty.
Genus: Solanum. Type: Self-Pollinating, Heirloom, non-GMO. Origin: A beloved heirloom originating with the Cherokee Indians in Tennessee, believed to have been grown and passed down through generations before being shared with non-Native families over a century ago.
Indeterminate Tomatoes
Vine tomatoes continue to grow, bloom, and produce fruit right up until the first frost of autumn. They can grow as tall as 6 to 12 feet and require sturdy supports, such as cages or trellises, to stay upright. Many home gardeners prefer indeterminate tomatoes because they provide a steady harvest of fresh tomatoes over two to three months.
Grow Tip: Repurpose old T-shirts by cutting them into strips to tie plants to stakes, which helps prevent damage to your plants.
