ICherokee Lime is Cherokee Green with clear epidermis rather than yellow? Grew the latter six or seven years ago. It did well at one of the Mid-West Tomato Fest tastings. I thought the Cherokee Green I grew had clear skin but it was probably yellow. I do not like or grow GWR tomatoes...lots of people like them. YAAAK!

Correct , C Lime has the clear epidermis, and C Green has the yellow, and it's no where even close to CL in flavor. In fact, The only GWR that comes close to Cherokee Lime, would be Reinhards GWR Heart. Each year I try to grow a new GWR to stand up to C Lime. There was another new one in the underground tomato world, called Verdal, bred by a man from Spain. It to, didn't run with CL. There is a dwarf out there that comes close, 'Jackass GWR' or 'Shamrock' (same thing) But CL is still the beast to beat, especially if you let them go a tad bit into the pink hue blossom end stage. When you see that color come on, then you should also see it in the cut away as well. > Cherokee Lime 2015 again by Blane Horton, on Flickr Most of the C Lime seeds are at Mariseeds, I don't think it's released anywhere else, unless it was and I missed it. Thanks for the thread Rich, if you want some of these, I can hook you up with a fresh 2015 batch, true to type, clear skin epi~
