| This season I plan to grow vinson wats, cherokee purple, and eva purple ball. The other day I ran across a site that said Eva Purple Ball had a unique flavor. I like to try different tomatoes, but this has me wondering. What is "unique?" Please describe to me if you have experience. Is this variety going to taste weird? Am I in for a great tomato? The review on was part of a list of tomatoes that do well in the Mobile, AL area. The website was the Mobile Botanical Garden. |

| Hi JWW_1, I have grown EPB and it is a really nice variety, flavour is excellent but nothing weird. Grown Cherokee Green as well and the taste was fantastic, so imagine Cherokee Purple will be great. |

| Thanks. Like I said the website called the EVP a unique or different flavor... got me a little nervous I bought 2 CP's at Lowes last season. It may be the best tomato I have ever eaten. I am growing from see for the first time. Getting excited and eager to taste results. I will report back the 5 varieties I am trying this season. Cherokee Purple |

| Matts Wild Cherry is very very tiny and will reseed next year. I think it is kind of pretty for a tomato. The little tomatoes are really red. I cut the sprays of fruit because it is tedious to pick and the skin pulls off when you pull on it. I would plant it closer to your door or in a special place. Eva is a nice pink medium sized tomato. It has a good taste but not unique in my opinion. Cherokee Purple is a good one. It is a more fragile tomato. They rot for me in rainy weather which is rare here in summer but it tastes great. |
