I have the answer to my mystery plant.
This thing…
…is Cynophalla flexuosa.
I know this thanks to Youtuber Karl Questel, who dropped a comment on the video I posted last week.
Very cool. I thought for sure it was an annona, but if I had seen it bloom I would have known better. I would not have guessed it was in Brassicaceae, though!

Wow.
Hi! Living in North Central Florida ..want to grow tomatoes
Saw your YouTube spot about the “wild Everglades” tomato….how do I get seeds for them & someone from the university horticulture Dept. Said there was no such thing. Possibly hey are just unaware of it… just because they are from a university doesn’t mean they know everything.
