For the record a coworker whom I had regaled one afternoon last week about the loss of the aforesaid "mini pearl" currant tomato sought out a grower of heirloom plants (Silver Heights Farm) at the Union Square Greenmarket and brought in to the office today a pair of red currants whose seed is said to have been collected on the Galapagos Islands. It's called "Sara's Galapagos Tomato", 85 days, red, currant and tall. No scientific name was listed on the tag.
Now that sure sounds unusual!
Anybody ever grow one of these?
