Great snack food! Tastes like pops of sugar. Grew like a weed the entire summer through to frost. I gave some plants to a friend that lives on a saltwater canal with periodic yard flooding and it was indestructible. Completely took over the fence!

I have had limited experience with "Wild Florida Everglades Tomato". However it was easy to germinate, took little care. Got plenty of sunshine and water. Produced tasty little cherry sized tomatoes for about three months. I'm going to keep growing it. I don't know much about tomato growing but this one has been trouble-free so far. And it grows all year according to the information I have.
