Tiny Tomato with Mighty Flavor
We see you summer! Juicy Everglades Tomatoes (Solanum pimpinellifolium) are an amazing rare perennial wild heirloom tomato variety that can really take the heat. They thrive and fruit year-round in Florida and are easily grown as exciting annuals in cooler climates. Everglades Tomato plants fruit prolifically, producing tiny tomatoes no larger than a quarter. Their wild, vigorous growth and nonstop production make them an especially fun tomato for warm-weather gardens.
Don't let their miniature size fool you! Everglades Tomatoes are small, but their flavor is mighty, with a perfect blend of sweetness and acidity. Loved by little kids and even people who claim to hate tomatoes, these tasty little gems are perfect for yard grazing or tossing into salads. Their bite-size fruit makes them especially easy to enjoy straight from the plant, where you can keep coming back for another handful throughout the growing season.
