Hi Florial
Do you mean the L.pimpnellifolium the wild form of tomato....if so I do have some seeds I could send you or you can buy them from Phoenix Seeds in Tasmania (possibly Eden Seeds in Qld.)
These fruit are only around 1cm in diam sometimes getting twice that size but most coomon in the smaller size
cheers

| peter... am clueless re their correct title or their wildness.. they were a bit tough skinned, quite seedy and not really sweet.. they were very spready and rambly and would climb a fence; their leaves were slightly flatter than the usual.. they came up faithfully for years, but suddenly i'm without them; i just took them for granted. even the fruit fly didnt fancy them much. would appreciate even a few seeds to try thankyou..please email me..florial |
