Topi Tambo - Củ LùnLinton's Edible FruitsUpdate: 669 days 12hrs Comments: - Also known as Sweet Corn plant due to the flavour of the tubers. Botanically, it is called Calathea Allouia. It is a member of the Marantaceae family which is the same family that Arrowroot belongs to. Topi Tambo produces white round roots that can be boiled or steamed with a similar flavour to water chestnuts or sweet corn. Can be grown in the garden in partial shade or in a container on a patio.

Tamarillo - Orange (Seedling) 9/10Mindy1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1448 days 16hrs Comments: - UPDATE MAY 2020 These grow QUICK. Now well over 2m tall, has done extremely well, fruit have formed and almost ready for picking (starting to colour up now). There would be around 14 full sized fruit on it at the moment, but probably another 30-40 flowers and other sized fruit. Unfortunately aphids seem to adore it, but given how fast it grows and the size of the leaves, I haven't used any controls aside from squishing as I've regularly seen ladybirds on there munching away. Is relatively protected from wind down side of house almost under the eaves. UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2019 Flowering! Lost a couple of leaves to heavy frost over Winter (I forgot to apply some protection) but excited it is flowering. Now about 1.8-1.9m tall. UPDATE March 2019 Now in ground. Gets watered by watering system every few days. In ground next to well established Meyer lemon. UPDATE January 2019 Had a couple of 40 degree days which caused wilting but most leaves bounced back with deep watering. Cut the top off once it was a metre tall to encourage branching. Keeping the water up to it - easy to tell when it needs water as the huge leaves start to look a little relaxed. Considering moving out of pot into ground in protected position. INITIAL October 2018 I love red tamarillos so thought I'd try growing the orange ones for something different. Growing well since September (spring).

Tamarillo - Red 6/10Justin1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3160 days 16hrs Comments: - Originally started growing in a pot, but I couldn't get the drainage right as they hate wet feet. I repotted a couple of times, and in the end gave up and gave it one last try in the ground. It's a lot happier and grew quite rapidly over summer. Needs to be sheltered from the wind, though, so I have surrounded it with stakes and clad the enclosing area in plastic. The tamarillo loves the protection from the wind and also the increased warmth. Has had some damage from frosts this winter (which can be seen in the photo). UPDATE 2014: Gave up on this a couple of years ago as it was an aphid haven. Propagated a new plant from a cutting and gave to my father who now grows it in his backyard without too much problem, and produces lots of fruit. Planted: 2008 Height 1.6 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 3 kilograms per Year Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Winter Pollination: Self Pollination Pest Control: Small snails are a problem and have consumed a large number of leaves. I pick them off or use organic snail bait, but it doesn't work that well since the small snails tend to live up in the tree.

Tamarillo (Seedling) 10/10Wrigly's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5075 days 9hrs Comments: - They grow true to type from seed , I only grow the red variety, I find the yellow variety lacks flavour. After fruit has reached full colour do not be in a hurry to pick, wait for another 2 or 3 weeks to fully ripen , taste test frequently until ripe. I eat them fresh but I am told they are good cut in half lengthways, sprinkled with sugar and lightly grilled. The skin is bitter and should not be eaten. If blanched in hot water the skin can be slipped off.
