A highly productive dwarf tomato with large, red-and-gold-striped beefsteak fruits and a rather tangy flavor.

What I like about Cherokee Tiger Large is the abundance of its fruits and the contrast between their red-and-gold stripes and its chartreuse foliage. Its beefsteak tomatoes weigh between 120 and 300 g and are produced in abundance. Their rather tangy flavor adds character to the tasting experience.

Its plant reaches about 100 to 120 cm in height and has regular, bright chartreuse foliage.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.

You can share its seeds within your community: our seeds are reproducible.
