Cherokee Green Heirloom Beefsteak delivers a sophisticated tomato variety celebrated for its distinctive appearance, complex flavor architecture, and reliable performance in diverse growing conditions. This indeterminate cultivar produces medium-sized fruits exceeding eight ounces, distinguished by a striking maturation pattern featuring green base coloration transitioning to vibrant orange-red shoulders—a visual characteristic that immediately identifies this variety at harvest and on the plate. The flavor profile balances bold acidity with subtle sweetness and pronounced umami undertones, creating a multidimensional taste experience that distinguishes Cherokee Green from conventional beefsteak varieties. The pronounced tartness and complexity make this heirloom particularly valuable for fresh applications where acidity enhances other ingredients, as well as for sauce production where the acid structure provides natural preservation properties. Organically grown and non-GMO, the 25-seed packet contains open-pollinated genetics enabling seed-saving from mature fruit, supporting long-term garden sustainability and reducing annual seed costs. Maturation occurs reliably within approximately 70 days from transplant, with documented germination rates of 80% or higher ensuring consistent stand establishment. Indeterminate growth habit provides continuous flowering and fruiting throughout the season in warm climates, extending productivity from mid-summer through first frost. Cherokee Green thrives in USDA zones 3–11 with full sun exposure, consistent moisture management, and well-draining soil enriched with organic matter and balanced nutrients. The variety demonstrates good disease tolerance and adapts well to both container and in-ground cultivation. Sustainably packaged and backed by David's Garden Seeds' commitment to heirloom preservation, this tomato bridges culinary distinction with responsible seed stewardship.
