What is this tomatoe

barryla61 · August 25, 2014

These tomatoes came from seeds that were labeled as Cherokee Purple but as you can see they are not. Photos show a CP in middle front surrounded by what we now call Mystery Purple which comes in different shapes and sizes and we think they taste even better that CP.
We grew them last year, saved seed grew them again this year and they came back the same.
Anyone have any idea what they may be?

One thing for sure we will now grow them every year!

From what I read, the Cherokee line is very prone to natural mutation.

It has beenin the past but others such as Cherokee Lime and Lemon have appeared and others from natural Xpollination and selection from F2 seeds.
