Full sun. Cherokee Purple, an heirloom variety produces large, dusky brown-purple skinned, green-shouldered fruit with brick-red flesh. The flavor is winy, smoky and earthy. Though not an abundant producer, the flavor is exceptional.
Indeterminate tomato vines set flowers until frost kills the plant. Indeterminate plants give you a long harvest season. Staking or trellising is recommended for indeterminate plants. Suckering of indeterminate plants is recommended for slicing varieties so that you get a good number of larger tomatoes (suckering is not necessary for cherry tomatoes).
