Fruit will ripen any time from April to November, and can take 8 months from pollination to ripening. Keep trees actively growing with regular watering, feeding and mulching.
The tree grows very quickly and is able to carry fruits after 1.5 to 2 years though in some favorable conditions they carry fruits in a lesser span of time. The plant is day length-insensitive. Fruits do not mature simultaneously unless the tree has been pruned.
The tree tomato (Solanum betaceum), also known as tamarillo, is closely related to S. lycopersicum and bears an egg-shaped edible fruit.
Don't discard the seeds. They are also edible and are very similar to tomato seeds. The juices from the tamarillo will stain clothing, so be careful when scooping out the pulp.. . . . .364011235760!]0000000000000009783314146644!]
