What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

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.
