Description

aka Tree Tomato The 'Tamarillo' is a sub tropical tree that produces delicious oval red fruit that start ripening towards the end of summer. The fruit are rich in Vitamin C. Happiest in a sunny, well drained position that provides shelter from harsh wind and frost. Semi-evergreen. Your Tamarillo will appreciate a nice layer of mulch around the drip line - take care not to place against the trunk. Tamarillo's are not particularly long-lived so probably best to replace your tree every 3-4 years. Habit: Tree Multi Branched. Leaves: Semi-Evergreen, Green.
