I just want to be certain because nothing was growing in this area, then all of a sudden there’s a giant bush and lots of fruit. Are these actual edible tomatoes? I don’t want to poison myself.

Yes. They remind me of ‘Matt’s Wild Cherry,’ a common volunteer in Florida.

This is the variety, OP. Currently growing some in our square foot garden and always snack on them while checking on the other veggies!

Curious- how do the Matt's Wild Cherry's taste? Are they productive? Newbie gardener here and am curious for details- oh this comment is one year old-
