Wild Florida Everglades Tomato

[_Keith]

Somewhere recently, the Wild Florida Everglades Tomato was mentioned in a post. So, of course, I had to get some seeds. They came in today. Can anyone tell me what I bought, lol?

I got mine here. The order link is at the bottom or that page. Can't believe I paid 7.95 for tomato seeds, but I had to try them. I am just wondering if they are for real, or if I got marketing dupped.

Keith,

I got my seeds a few years ago, and like they said will produce fruit all summer long. Right now their are easily 60 -70 small cherry tomatoes on the vine in a 3 gal, and this plant is about a year old. I throw some compost around the base every couple of months, good taste not as bitter as some small tomatoes. Only thing that has slowed it down was an attack from a hornworn, which defoliated it in about a day and a half. Easy one to grow, when more of the fruit gets mature I will save some seeds for anyone else interested.

Aww crud Keith, you should have mentioned you were looking for them... I got a heap of them. They make marble sized tomatoes and can tolerate hot and dry conditions like no other tomato. these are fun food. I would even fold them into a chicken salad similar to some recipes that call for grape. but I'm a tomato freak. I have some heirloom variety seeds from a local grower, if your interested PM me a mailing address.

Jen and I got some heirloom tomato that is small, yellow and distinctly pear shaped. It seems to want to grow all year long.

Matty, heirlooms grow much better when it's cooler here. The problem with these "year-round" tomatoes is that they're the cherry-type and not the mondo beefy ones you use on burgers. Whoever breeds THAT type of 'mater is gonna rich man.

My friend Betty has these growing allover the nursery. They taste so good! Just pluck one off the vine and yumm! I can remember what a tomato actually tastes like.

I think these will set seed or the birds arry them around because she has them everywhere in the nursery. A great grower for heat in Florida.
