The scientific species name lycopersicum means "wolf peach", and comes from German werewolf myths. These said that deadly nightshade was used to summon werewolves, so the tomato's similar but much larger fruit was called the "wolf peach" when it arrived in Europe.
This photo was taken at my Mother's yard. Widely cultivated for its edible fruit. Savory in flavor. Can be found in Philippines, Spain, Britain, Middle East, North America, and England.Live At The Troubadour [CD / DVD Combo]
