FYI A pirate named Gaspar did comandeer and raid a lot of ships in the Gulf.In his storys he does mention tomatoes grown in the west coast of FL.He was known to settle and raid some established communitys along the coast.Also the word Everglades does not really show up in history until around the 1820s.So I would guess the EV Wild Cherry would be more of a regional name than a proper tomatoe variety name if you will.I do know that birds can migrate a long ways.I guess we will never know for sure.
