Wendy starts with ... A couple of years ago I planted an orange tamarillo and a red tamarillo side by side and now I only get orange fruit on both. Should I have not planted these together?

Wendy says... Definitely not mistaken. The tree was damaged by wind after the first 'red' fruiting. When it grew new limbs it produced 'orange' fruit. Its not a miracle, its frustrating!

Kath says... It sounds like you had a red tamarillo grafted on to a yellow rootstock. The graft was damaged and died and you now have the yellow rootsock tree.	About the Author Kath Cawongla 16th December 2007 11:24am #UserID: 2 Posts: 363 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees

Wendy says... No - it was a $9.90 one from Daleys (which is not supposed to the grated one) and also the damage was not as low as where a graft would be. Never mind, I have 2 beautifully fruiting orange trees and if I decide to get (another) red one I'll just plant it elsewhere. Thanks everyone anyway.
