A friend gave us 2 Everglades Tomato cuttings. Can’t wait for these Beauties to take off. They will grow wild in Florida and is considered a perennial here. These things will grow in the poorest of Florida’s sandy soil.

Do you know if they will continue to fruit once the temps get up into the 90's, most tomatoes seem to shut down when the temps get to high but this tomato plant seems to have adapted to the Florida climate.

They produce in the Florida heat
@Donto101 True I lived in Bermuda for many years and we were on the same latitude as Washington DC but never saw any snow because we were right in the middle of that warm current. Mangoes and Papayas grew like weeds but any of the colder veggies were a problem and even tomatoes could be tricky to grow. Buying them in the grocers after a 750 mile sea journey on a cargo container made for expensive tomatoes that didn't taste very good.
Wow!!!
I'd be very excited!!!
We'll need status reports!
