About CHUXAY GARDEN Yellow Tamarillo,Tree Tomato,Tomate
The Tamarillo, or Tree Tomato, is a small tree or shrub in the tomato family grown for its edible fruit. Native to the Andes of South America, the Tamarillo can be found growing in Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. The Tamarillo is a fast growing tree, capable of reaching 15 feet in height, but often is much smaller and well suited to container growing. These trees are known to thrive and produce fruit for up to 12 years and are a fun and exotic alternative to the annual garden tomato. The ripe Tamarillo fruit is a firm, yellow, orange, or red fruit between 2 and 4 inches in length with a distinct tomato flavor with a tart, bright quality. Plants are cold hardy to just below freezing, so should be protected in frost prone climates. When it comes to tree tomato care, water supply is the key to success. The tamarillo’s leaves are very large, resulting in a lot of water evaporation. For this reason, we recommend that you carry out a daily check to make sure that the root ball is moist enough. However, keep in mind that tamarillos do not tolerate waterlogging well, so avoid this at all costs. A good supply of nutrients is also important for the tamarillo plant, as it grows extremely quickly. There is no need to prune your tree tomato regularly. However, as these trees grow so quickly, they can grow larger than you might like. If this happens, cut back the overhanging shoots. We recommend doing this just before winter.
