Indeterminate - 75 days to maturity. Cherokee Carbon is a beefsteak-type tomato developed from a cross between two heirloom favorites: Cherokee Purple and Carbon. This variety combines the rich, smoky flavor of its heirloom parents with the improved vigor and disease resistance typically found in modern hybrids. Plants have regular leaves and produce large fruits averaging 10 to 12 ounces. The tomatoes are perfect for slicing, sandwiches, fresh salads, or simply enjoying straight from the vine.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
