Grow one of the most distinctive green beefsteak tomatoes with Cherokee Green Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Developed by tomato expert Craig LeHoullier from the well-loved Cherokee Purple lineage, this heirloom variety produces medium to large fruits with firm, juicy green flesh and a rich, zesty flavor. With compact indeterminate vines that perform well in gardens, patios, or containers, Cherokee Green is a reliable and rewarding slicing tomato for home growers seeking something unique.
Bold Flavor, Striking Color, and Garden-Friendly Vines:
Cherokee Green tomatoes average 8 to 12 ounces and offer a bright, more acidic flavor compared to many other green-when-ripe varieties. Their yellow-green skin develops a warm amber to orange-red blush on the blossom end as they ripen. These meaty, flavorful tomatoes shine anywhere a red slicer would—especially on BLTs, tarts, and fresh summer plates.
Why Customers Love Cherokee Green Tomatoes:
- Produces an average of 20 large 8–12 oz green beefsteak tomatoes per plant
- Bold, zesty flavor with juicy, meaty texture
- Distinct green flesh with amber coloration at peak ripeness
- Compact indeterminate vines suitable for containers and small gardens
- Unique, rarely available heirloom variety with standout culinary appeal
How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors once temperatures warm, placing plants in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Cherokee Green’s compact indeterminate vines benefit from staking or caging for best fruit support. Water consistently and maintain airflow to encourage steady production of large, healthy tomatoes.
Harvest & Use:
Harvest when tomatoes turn a rich yellow-green with an amber or orange-red tint at the blossom end and feel slightly soft to the touch. Slice thick for sandwiches, use fresh in salads, or incorporate into savory tarts and appetizers. Their bright acidity and juicy texture make them a standout where full tomato flavor is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
