Heirloom variety

Cherokee Purple
"This isn't my first time growing Cherokee purple and this year didn't disappoint either, A nice flavorful tomato!"
Sweetest tomato I've ever had
"I concur with Elizabeth B.'s review from 2017: These are absolutely delicious, at least when eaten fresh. They're the sweetest tomatoes I've ever had. That might not be everyone's preference, and it might not be the best flavor for all uses, but for fresh-off-the-vine eating, I found them absolutely spectacular."
