Cherokee green tomato is a delicious, rare heirloom tomato that was discovered and developed by Craig LeHoullier. This lime green and chartreuse fruit is very meaty with great tomato flavor. The Cherokee green tomato turns a slight amber when ripe, making it a beautiful addition to any garden. Cherokee green tomatoes are also Indeterminate, meaning they'll keep producing fruit until the end of the season.

GROWING TIPS

Start seed indoors 5-7 weeks before last frost. Provide plants with plenty of light to avoid tall, spindly tomato transplants. A sunny south-facing window or grow lights will be sufficient. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. A few weeks before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring; usually about 2 weeks after the your average last frost date. Set transplants in the ground and cover stem so that only 2-3 sets true leaves are exposed, resulting in a stronger root system.
