I germinated the free Cherokee Chocolate seeds TGS provided with an order. They turned out to be nice healthy plants most of which I have given away. I have limited space for my planned varieties and wonder if they are worth a planting in my raised beds. Anyone have an opinion on this variety?

Cherokee Purple is the original variety named by Craig LeHoullier, seeds from John Green in TN.

Craig discovered fruits on a plant that were much darker than Cherokee Purple, which has a clear epidermis, and what he called Cherokee Chocolate seems to have a yellow epidermis.

So the two are exactly the same except one is darker than the other,

Below I've linked to Tania's page for this variety where opinions are given, pictures are shown and seed availability is indicated.

And yes, I've grown Cherokee Chocolate.
