Hello,

The Wild Everglades Tomato is listed as Solanum lycopersicum 'Everglades' but it's actually a currant tomato that naturalized South Florida long ago. The botanical name is Solanum pimpinellifolium 'Everglades'. The 'Everglades' cultivar I'm guessing since Solanum pimpinellifolium is native to Peru and Ecuador.

The story goes that the Spanish brought it over to South Florida from South America. This little tomato is very resilient, it will grow on almost anything even our sandy soil. Hurray!

Hope this can be fixed. I tip my hat to you.
