Anyone have everglades tomato seeds I can buy?

General Fruit Growing

My chicken ate all my fruits and so far no plants popping up. Hoping someone maybe have some seeds I can buy to start over.

I do not have that particular variety but have lots of others.

What type of tomato is it? Maybe I have something similar.

It’s a natural pure wild tomato that grows in the everglades

I have one that grows like that and you will get thousands of tomatoes. It grows and grows and grows. It is called Matt’s Wild Cherry. It looks exactly like the plant I just saw on you tube.

Ill send them to you for nothing

Everglades wild is NOT the same as Matt’s Wild Cherry and won’t perform the same. Everglades wild has significant heat and humidity tolerance that Matt’s Wild does not. On the flip side, Matt’s Wild has the Ph-2 gene for late blight resistance so maybe it would be a good one to get anyway.

Thanks for the link. I’m going to try these, and try them as rootstock too!

Good idea. The hybrid tomato rootstocks are pricey. I’ve grafted 3 already to make my mistakes before the main batch. But that is a story for another thread. :blush:
