  • Tomato 'Cherokee Purple' is a well-loved heirloom variety known for its deep, rich flavor and unusual color. Believed to have originated from seeds passed down by the Cherokee people in the 1800s, this tomato carries a lot of history along with its outstanding taste. It grows as an indeterminate vine, meaning it keeps producing fruit throughout the season rather than all at once. With the right support, it becomes a lush, sprawling plant that fills garden spaces with beautiful, dusky-colored fruits.

    The fruits of Cherokee Purple are large, often weighing 10 to 12 ounces (280–340 g) or more, and have a slightly flattened, beefsteak shape. The skin is a dusky pinkish-purple with darker shoulders, and when sliced open, the flesh reveals a deep red interior with a hint of green near the seeds. The flavor is full-bodied — sweet, smoky, and a little earthy — making it a favorite for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh salads. Because of their soft texture, the tomatoes are best enjoyed soon after picking.

    Unlike many modern hybrids, Cherokee Purple takes a little patience to grow, often maturing a bit later in the season. The vines can stretch 6 to 8 feet tall and need sturdy cages or stakes to support the heavy fruits. The leaves are more traditional tomato leaves (not potato-like like some heirlooms), giving the plants a classic, leafy garden look as they fill out through the summer.

    Although it’s grown mainly for its outstanding fruit, Cherokee Purple also brings a soft, natural beauty to vegetable gardens with its tall, leafy vines and colorful harvest. Gardeners who grow it often say no other tomato compares when it comes to complex, rich flavor. In the right conditions, it rewards growers with some of the most memorable tomatoes of the season.


  • Needs full sun, at least 6 to 8 hours a day, for strong vines and rich fruit flavor. Plants grown in too much shade will produce fewer and less flavorful fruits.

    Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, aiming for deep, steady watering rather than frequent light watering. Consistent moisture helps prevent problems like cracking.

    Handles average outdoor humidity but needs good airflow around the leaves. Crowded conditions or wet leaves for too long can invite fungal diseases.

    Prefers warm temperatures between 70–85°F. Plant outside only after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. While tomatoes are generally grown as annuals and can be cultivated in USDA zones 3 through 11, the key factor is the length of the growing season and the average last frost date in your specific area. In cooler zones like 3 and 4, gardeners often start seeds indoors and use season-extending techniques to ensure a successful harvest.

    Thrives in rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Adding compost or organic matter encourages strong vines and better fruit production.

    Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer, or use one slightly higher in phosphorus to promote more flowers and fruits. Avoid heavy nitrogen feeding, which can create too much leafy growth.

    Ripe fruits are edible and safe, but the green parts of the plant (stems, leaves, and unripe fruits) are toxic if ingested. Keep plants where pets and small children can't reach them.

No customer service for product under warranty
Color: Beige
loved this umbrella for the 4 months we used it. did a lot of research to find an umbrella that would stand up to New England "breezes" -- this one was advertised as wind resistant; bought in June 2025, seemed very sturdy, really nice-looking, used on our patio (installed in the base the recommended base) through the summer; stored indoors for the winter; brought back onto patio a couple weeks ago. On a day with average wind a couple weeks ago, the tilt mechanism broke. Umbrella did not fall over, a gust of wind just forced the tilt mechanism to snap. Spent a lot of time trying to fix it, but it's permanently broken. It's less than a year old so still under warranty, as stated in the materials they sent with the umbrella. Same materials list the email to contact if there are any problems with the product. Have emailed the company, twice now, asking for a refund or replacement. Radio silence. Don't buy this unless you're ok with throwing it away after four or five months of use and being ignored by customer service.

Third time in 10 years nerding out on an Amazon patio umbrella on a budget...
Color: Navy Blue, Color: Navy Blue
Color: Beautiful, but the fabric is thinner than other options that are only ~$10 more. Tilt mechanism: Major reason for my 3:5 stars. It's plastic with a metal fastener through the middle. We won't be tilting this umbrella in any wind gust situations over 5mph. The warnings on the stickers and in the instructions make it clear this is a limitation, but it's not mentioned in the listing details. Quality | Value for money: Overall very mid. This is a nice 3-tiered umbrella at a near rock-bottom budget price for that class. I have found other mystery brand umbrellas on Amazon that have lasted for 5+ years, albeit with some (in my opinion) acceptable fading and rust. This umbrella leans hard into plastic everywhere except the fasteners. The ribs and pole are almost as thin as a few layers of beer cans pressed together. At least at the 10' and up diameter, this umbrella requires you to install equally flimsy-feeling extensions in order to get to 10', full sail. Final thoughts: This time around I chose price + delivery speed over quality, and I have a hunch I will be getting what I paid for. I doubt this umbrella lasts for more than 2 to 3 years without UV treatments and a very solid, heavy base.
