Looks like the Meso-Americans and South Americans had already done a lot of selective breeding by the time tomatoes were brought to Europe.

You can't argue with a closed mind.
You might as well be arguing with a cat.

Re: Tomatoes In 16th Century Europe
Plenty of info about the migration of maters thru South America by the Spaniards and the religious influence.The maters it seems went through the Gulf,thru my backyard in the glades.We have wild cherrys here,but not Everglades cherrys as advertised and not true.The name Everglades did not appear until long after the Spaniards came thru,brought the seeds to Europe and then the variations were cultivated.Seems like a lot of the Galapagos seeds ended up with the also.
