Cherokee Purple Heart Beefsteak Tomato

Cherokee Purple Heart produces heart-shaped beefsteak tomatoes of around 150-300 grams each. Pretty purple fruits, some with a darker green neck. Purple, dense flesh with an excellent, rich tomato flavor. Was discovered in a patch of 'Cherokee Purple' by Rock Angier in 2006, North Carolina. Around 80-85D. Indeterminate. 10seeds/pack

Indeterminate tomato varieties will keep on growing the whole summer until the autumn frost. They will keep flowering and setting fruit. The sucker doesn't have to be pruned, but if not the plant will grow extremely large. 1-3 suckers could be spared along the main stem and the rest could be pruned. If not pruned at all the plant might tend to put energy into growing large instead of producing tomatoes on the main stem and the selected suckers. All indeterminate varieties could be staked or supported to avoid fruits laying on the ground.
