Cherokee Chocolate???

[maggie c]

I have two plants labeled Cherokee Chocolate, and they are both producing rather tasty tomatoes. But...they don't look much alike. The first plant is producing what I would call "normal" looking CCs. They are oblate, smooth, a nice brick color and look like the tomatoes in Carolyn's book.

The second plant is producing a completely different looking tomato in everything but the color. The color is the same, but the tomatoes are considerably smaller, oddly shaped, and ribbed. I put the picture up so that you could see the size and shape comparisons.

Is there this much variation in the Cherokee Chocolate tomato? Are the little one still Cherokee Chocolates?
