Cherokee Purple
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
Indeterminate
Packet Description:
“A pre-1890 Cherokee Indian heirloom! Beautiful, deep, dusky purple-pink color; superb sweet flavor. Very large fruit. A customer favorite!
Our take:
We grew one these plants a few years back from a Bonnie plant start that we picked up at the local Lowe’s Home Improvement Center. I recall getting a few large, fist sized, super sweet fruits with beautiful purple, and deep pink flesh. Excited to give it another go this year from seed.
