Solanum Betaceum (Tamarillo Tree Tomato)

Solanum Betaceum (Tamarillo Tree Tomato) is a fast-growing, evergreen small tree or shrub, prized for its oval-shaped, glossy fruits that come in vibrant shades of red, orange, or yellow. The fruit has a tangy, sweet flavour with a firm flesh, making it versatile for fresh eating, juicing, or use in both sweet and savoury dishes. Known as the "Tree Tomato," it is a highly productive plant, valued for its unique fruit and ornamental appeal.

The tree features large, soft green leaves and small, fragrant pink to white flowers that bloom in clusters, adding beauty to gardens before fruit development. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils, Tamarillo Tree Tomato is a hardy plant, tolerating a range of climates but performing best in frost-free areas. Fruit ripens in late autumn to early winter, providing a nutritious and visually striking harvest.
