Excellent picture Melody. That is exactly what my Cherokee Purple 'maters looked like:)
Mine had a rich unique flavor, unlike any other 'mater I ever tasted; very good.
My only complaint is that my vines did not produce very heavily, and I know they were in excellent soil. Raised some Marianna's Peace 'maters in the same spot last year, and had excellent yields on those vines. Wondering if Cherokee Purple just naturally does not produce well.
