Topi Tambo - Củ LùnLinton's Edible FruitsUpdate: 662 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.

Small Leaf Tamarind 8/10Sayadr's Edible FruitsUpdate: 801 days 10hrs Comments: - Attractive endangered native fruiting tree. Took a few years to become established with frost protection and regular watering. Survived years of harsh drought with minimal watering. First time it has fruited since planting about 7 years ago. Appears to be a substantial amount of fruit on the tree. Fruit is attractive but very tart, consisting mostly of a large seed and thin flesh. Fruiting Months February and March Planted: 2015 Height 2 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 2 kilograms per Year First Fruited: 7 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Winter Autumn and WinterPollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Chicken droppings couple of times a year Pest Control: None Organic Status:Organic Was this review helpful?

Tamarillo - Orange (Seedling) 9/10Mindy1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1441 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). Fruiting Months May, June, July Planted: 2018 Height 2 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 First Fruited: 1.5 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Spring Pruned By: 20% in Spring Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Manure, pea straw, lucerne, blood and bone When I Fertilise: Winter and Spring Pest Control: Attracts aphids by the gazillions; I just squish what I can as the ladybirds flock to the tamarillo to eat.

Tamarind - large leaf native (Seedling)Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1798 days 12hrs Comments: - Growing very slowly and not really happy in this very shady spot - but plodding along and has put down a nice strong root system - so I am not too worried about it.

Tamarillo - Red (Seedling) 10/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1808 days 9hrs 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.

Tamarind Sweet (Seedling) 5/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1808 days 22hrs Comments: - 100% germination and vigorous growth from seeds collected from this packet of Thai sweet tamarind whole pods.

Tamarillo - Red 6/10Justin1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3153 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.

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 - Red 8/10Waterfall's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3164 days 14hrs Comments: - Very unusual looking yet attractive plant with some very large leaves. I have it in the back corner of my yard in a corner which is sheltered from wind. Doesn't get a lot of sun in winter but will get plenty in summer. Has grown very fast and is loaded with fruit now. One branch with about 20 fruits got too heavy and snapped in the wind, its still half attached so I have strapped it up to prevent further damage, the fruit held on for a couple of months and fully ripened. Fruiting Months July and August Planted: 2014 Height 4 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 30 Fruit Per Year First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Summer and Spring Pollination: No Fertiliser or Organics Used: chicken poo and mulch When I Fertilise: Yearly Pest Control: Had some aphids and snails, yates product spray removed aphids, multiguard sorted out the snails.
