Exotic tree tomato fruit tree seeds grow into bountiful trees making fat and plump, egg-shaped tomato-like fruits.
This tree is what the solanaceae family blessed us humans with to eat when ripe!
Found native in Peru and South America, these fast-growing, self-fertile trees grow vigorously in subtropical to tropical climates. The trees can be potted in a large pot and will still bear many fruits. Tree Tomatoes grow in sand, clay and loamy soils and do best in full sun.
Great news: Tamarillo Cyphomandra seeds are easy to germinate! Even a beginner gardener can grow this one.
How to Use:
Use the fruit like a tomato. Slice it for salads. The tamarillos can be sun-dried and used like sun-dried tomatoes or canned. The acidic-tasting fruits can be sweetened with sugar and used in jellies and preserves as well.
Tamarillo fruit is low in carbs and rich in vitamins A, C, E and iron.
