Tamarillo - Red (Seedling) 10/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1786 days 18hrs Comments: - I love tamarillos and home grown are a bit sweeter than shop/commercial ones, I think, and I don't need sugar with ours. A very easy small tree to grow - but needs shelter and/or support in windy weather. Loves a good feed and water. Fruit fly don't touch ours. Tip pruning encourages new growth = more fruit. Prune after fruiting to get rid of aphid build up. Prolific bearer. Planted: 2017 Height 3 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 3 First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Spring SpringPollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Balanced Acid Lovers alternating with slow release organic chook manure pellets Was this review helpful?

Tamarillos-redKathK's Edible FruitsUpdate: 2474 days 18hrs Comments: - Have red & yellow-they grow like crazy, produce lots of fruit for a couple of years then drop dead so try & have a new one on the go all the time. Lucky the fruit are delicious as the leaves smell disgusting! Delicious on cereal, pavlovas and makes great jam with rhubarb Pollination: Self Pollination Was this review helpful?

Tamarillo - Red 10/10Janny's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4959 days 6hrs Comments: - I eat Tamarillo's when they are in season with Greek Style Yoghurt for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They cost about $2 each, so my hubby tries to restrict the number I buy as it shoots the cost of grocery shopping through the roof. It would be so much easier if I could grow my own!!
