The Speedy Fruit Tree You Need to Grow! Tamarillo / Tree Tomato

Video Description

Tamarillo or Tree tomato is one of the fastest fruit trees to grow, providing delicious fruits in under 2 years from seed! Not only do these South American fruit trees grow extremely fast, they're also easy to propagate, produce abundant harvests through Autumn and Winter, and the tamarillos can be used in many ways - eaten fresh or used in sweet or savoury dishes. I'll be showing you how to grow tamarillos (also called tree tomatoes, or tomate de árbol), from seed to harvest and share some care requirements to consider. We'll also do a tasting of the multiple tamarillo varieties that I'm growing, so you can see how different the varieties are.
