Seems to be a variety available only in the UK, lucky you. Your Cherokee Purple tomatoes are absolutely beautiful. I hope they continue unblemished and ripen for you. They are a great tasting tomato.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-79053256814010999762013-08-08T20:04:22.921+01:002013-08-08T20:04:22.921+01:00No ripe fruit for us yet and we have a few develop...No ripe fruit for us yet and we have a few developing blossom end rot which we have never had in the past.

They were my only tomatoes that had a bad case of blossom end rot and the ones that didn't were somewhat hollow and tasteless. Didn't bother with them this year.nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.com
