Notes

'Cherokee Green' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Cherokee Green') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. It is grown for its unique color and great flavor.

Pairs well with Alpha calendula, Dukat dill, and Diva cucumber.
