My dad planted some of these tomatoes this year. First, they are a pain to peel with all the crevices and holes in them. Secondly, the core in them is huge. I've never seen a tomato that has green cores in them as large as these do. Thirdly, they are one of the best tasting tomatoes I've ever eaten.

I am almost positive he started his plants from seed. Are there any different varieties or producers of plants of the Cherokee Purple tomatoes that aren't so misshapen and have a small core?


If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
