Also known as the “Wild Florida Everglades,” ‘Everglades’ tomatoes produce small, currant-type fruit that can be best described as delivering huge flavor in a tiny package. Its regular leaf plants are vigorous, sprawling, very productive, drought and heat tolerant, as well as pest resistant.
 
The tomato blooms and fruits all year long, is tolerant of our alkaline soil, brackish water, salt winds, and is resistant to such fungal diseases as verticillium and fusarium wilts, and late blight
 
Everglades tomato grows as an annual or biennial, but you will never be without tomatoes as the thin-skinned fruit will self-seed if allowed. Though shrub-like when young, the stems will eventually sprawl out up to 10 feet. A trellis is optional as the plant is happy rambling across the garden. Like most solanums, the Everglades tomato prefers full sun. It is drought tolerant, but bloom and fruit will do best with moderate watering and occasional application of a complete, slow release fertilizer.
