Believed to have originated with the Cherokee Tribe of the Tennessee valley pre-1850, this is one of the oldest varieties in the collection. Craig LeHoullier helped to reintroduce this variety to a wider audience. Excellent yeild and top notch flavour.
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency. They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level). They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential. See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
Sow Jan-April indoors
Height Band G
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
