Cherokee Tiger Large was a mid-height plant in my greenhouse (about 1.3 meters / 4.2 ft tall), with a mid-season ripening time. The fruits are medium-sized, red with yellow stripes, and oblate in shape. Very tasty, meaty, and sweet.
Girls, please tell me, I bought this variety listed as a Dwarf, but I can’t find anything online confirming whether it is actually a Dwarf or not?
