Cyphomandra betacea, also known as the tree tomato, or tamarillo, is a small evergreen and fast-growing tree, that originates from several regions of South America, including Peru and Chile. This small tree has large heart-shaped leaves, fragrant flowers that are borne into clusters, yellow edible fruits.
The tomato tree is frost-hardy to 26°F to 28°F (-2°C to -3°C), and will best be grown in summer.
Newly planted tamarillos should be pruned to a height of 3 to 4 ft. to encourage branching. Yearly pruning thereafter is advisable to eliminate branches that have already fruited and to induce ample new shoots close to the main branches, since fruit is produced on new growth. Pruning also aids in harvesting, and if timed properly can extend the total fruiting period.
