Tamarillo Tree Tomato Seeds, also known as tree tomato (Cyphomandra betacea or Solanum betaceum), produce a fast-growing exotic fruit tree with smooth red fruits and sweet-tart orange flesh. This tropical and subtropical plant is valued both for its decorative appearance and for its flavorful fruits used in fresh dishes, sauces, desserts, and beverages.
Tamarillo grows as a small tree or large shrub and can begin producing fruit within 1–2 years from seed under suitable growing conditions. It is an excellent choice for gardeners who enjoy growing unusual fruit plants in their garden, greenhouse, or large containers.
These seeds are suitable for outdoor planting in warm climates and for container or greenhouse growing in cooler regions.
