| First crop of the season - tasty little morsels. Hugely happy to have some fruit ripening up. All my regular heirlooms are really late this year because of an exceptionally cool spring. A friend was in Ecuador last year and brought back some seeds. Plant grows as a bushy ground cover. Hoping it can handle the Texas heat this summer.... |

| Wow if that is huge I have some mammoth Husky Cherry Red growing in my garden. (Sarcasm intended in humor.) Those look like the smallest cherry tomatoes I have seen so far. I hope you get a metric ton of them from the plant. |

| If from Ecuador I bet you were sent seeds for S.pimpinellifolium, a currant tomato. Eat them quickly before they aspire to the huge ones you might have expected. LOL I happen to like currant ones,horrible to pick,I just pick a whole cluster and snack on them. It's one of the now15 speciesof tomatoes known and all originated in Chile and Peru and no doub tEcuador as well. Carolyn |

| See link below, but usually Tejas refers to Texas. ( smile) Which I know not b'c I fetched a link for you but b'c I've been in Texas as in visiting a friend south of Dallas. Carolyn |

| probably closer to the original cultivar than the typical garden plant - last year a neighbor gave me a seedling that produced similarly small "current" tomatoes - like berries really very tasty but hard to harvest - just have to eat them off the vine. I started seed from that plant this year will see what result I get. Based on the giver I assume it was heirloom and will produce true. |
