Cherokee Green Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - Tomato enthusiast Craig LeHoullier made this selection from the Cherokee Purple heirloom. A uniquely coloured and very flavourful medium sized tomato borne on indeterminate vines. Green fruits can ripen to a yellowish-orange colour on the blossom end. This is a surprisingly tasty green variety compared to many other green varieties having a more complex acidity level. We feel most green tomatoes are underrated, so if you are going to try one, Green Cherokee is highly recommended!

Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Sow 1/4 inch deep and keep soil warm. Transplant into 1 inch cells or 2 inch pots at 1-2 leaf stage. Staking tomatoes (indeterminate) should be transplanted into 3-4 inch pots. Harden off plants for 4-5 days after risk of frost has passed.
