I saw this tomato plant @ the Chicago Botanic garden and would love to plant next year. I have not been able to find any sources for this plant. Is anyone familiar with this?

That looks like a pepper plant.
Rareseeds.com has seeds for something called 'Blue Berries tomato'

Whoever wrote up the sign should spend some time in a horticulture school.
Definitely a pepper & hotter than blazes!

This is called ornamental pepper. It's grown more for look than taste.

These tomato seeds were purchased from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and they no longer offer them.

Are you looking for seeds for a tomato plant or the pepper plant in the pic? I think the pepper plant in the pic is explosive ember but I'm not sure.

Botanical garden sign maker (or whoever IDs the plant) really needs to get another job. Not one where they get to ID plants. I can see even from here that is a pepper, not a tomato plant.

That was mentioned already on an earlier post. We all noticed that was a pepper plant. I did have to put my glasses on tho. : )
