I had a couple of Cherokee Purple plants last year. I got maybe a dozen healthy tomatoes off of them. The plants grew over 8 feet tall and were healthy for the most part. But we had a couple of heavy rain storms that caused most of my fruit to split. And then after that it just slowed production.

I planted 48 Big Beef tomatoes a week ago along with herbs and hot peppers. I'll plant cuc's in a week or two.

It may have been that the rain knocked off the blooms or washed out the pollen. I've found using calcium nitrate as the first fertilizer when blooms start to appear really helps the plants keep the fruit set.
With as much rain as we typically get, it's hard to prevent the splitting. Outside of picking them a little early, there's not any real solutions.
