Well, if you don't have cuttings, you have to go from seed! I got some fruit from the store months ago, and it has taken them at least 30-60 days to attain 3-4" height. But I don't worry, because as the warmer weather comes back, they will grow exponentially!
I let them sit on the counter, enjoying their beauty, until soft like a ripe persimmon. It really brings out the sweetness and tropical flavors. If they aren't fully ripe like this I prefer to boil them and add fresh onion cilantro and hot peppers for a lovely exotic salsa. Both ways they kind of loose the strange taste they may otherwise have. Also seem to be having success keeping possums out of the cherry tree with a piece of bamboo rhizome barrier that is smooth and 2 feet tall wrapped around the trunk. I hear it works for rats also, anything too slippery to climb. Also trimming and training with string away from surrounding bridge plants.
When mine was hit with aphids (its just forming its first fruit now) I sprayed it every day or second day with watered down vinegar just on the underside of the leaves. This worked well after a while of doing it, and the tree seems to be free of them now. I also blasted many off with a hose which helps.
My Tamarillo tree has been hit hard with aphids and spidermites here in Czech Republic, but it's still growing and producing fruit. It's crazy how resilient they're. However, I have different cultivar than everyone else, because my seeds are not black. I find that interesting.
Lovely to look at a tamarillo growing in all its glory. Also good to know that it doesn’t like full sun nor wind. The location was going to put mine has both so I will have to look for another spot.
Hi, nice video about tamarillo's. I noticed you call that insect an aphid, but it's not an aphid. It's a whitefly. Although several species of whitefly may cause some crop losses simply by sucking sap when they are very numerous, the major harm they do is indirect. Firstly, they secrete large amounts of honeydew that support unsightly or harmful infestations of sooty mold. Secondly, they inject saliva that may harm the plant more than either the mechanical damage of feeding or the growth of the fungi. However, by far their major importance as crop pests is their transmission of diseases of plants. In warm or tropical climates and especially in greenhouses, whiteflies present major problems in crop protection. Worldwide economic losses are estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
Great video! Thx a lot! Question: how long are the cuttings you take for propagation please? And do you leave it in water and wait for the roots or straight into the pot?
Wow what an amazing fruit tree. I have one still in its infancy. I was really worried about the amount of leaf damage from small insects on the underside of the leaves, but it seems to have survived okay. I’ll make sure I use frost cloth so that it will hopefully make it through the winter. Do you have any tips on fertilisers, and what type of soil it prefers etc ? Many thanks from New Zealand ❤
put the folig one in a Drum for fermenting and mix them and than gife inside thechist to fermenting to Liquore ! I dont know if this work but if this work than you can tray to drink os you can make a vinigar from !
We get aphids on ours and then ants then downy mildew my mother used to make chutney with them very tastie great at end of summer last in fridge for months NZ fan
Looks like you need to put the trap out.. I tried to get some seeds to plant one of these trees but man they want $14 to $16 for like 10 seeds so I guess I want be getting any of those fruits..I really wanted to get the yellow ones and the small red ones
I found it slightly bitter, not sweet, too seedy for me. My gardening friend told me she like it better when filtered off the seeds and cooked it into jam.
That's not everything, cause I wanna know the comparison of yellow Tamarillo variety that u used to have. To me the red Tamarillo tastes unacceptable 😃

Are they resistant to cold?
Hmm, my seeds aren’t black either. And the fruits are orange.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Possums had a party of Tamarillos
Nice harvest ...beautiful fruits
I'm growing the dwarf Tamarillo
Wonderful!
Wow! Two years and its already bearing that much fruit, What a incredible tree
It sure is! Unfortunately, they live only 3-5 years.
I would love to add this to my collection. They look very yummy. Wow, that is beautiful even in a pot.
It really is!
SHARING IS A GOOD THING
What is the method that you used when you propagated them from cuttings?
Easily from cuttings straight into dirt.

Thanks for your insight.
Beautiful! Trying to grow some of these right now
Enjoy!
Calendula are winter flowers, edible, and they are great for deterring aphids from your plants, extremely easy to germinate
Maybe nasturtiums also
I think they also attract the predators of aphids

Although i get regular frosts in winter, I've never protected mine. Feed with any slow release fertiliser.
You can chop it back severely after you have harvested all the fruit. It will grow back into a thicker tree.
Thank you so much for all the information about tamarillo. ❤
Most welcome 😊
Great info I’ve just bought one so very timely !
Glad it was helpful!
Where in Melbourne do you recommend to get cuttings from? Thanks
Try asking a friendly nursery who carries the plant.
Did you find tamatillo tree?
Iam trying to get treetomato seeds but I am failed.if possible send sample seeds.with worm regards.
Not possible, I don't ship.

Chutney sounds good. I've only ever eaten them raw.

If you're in Australia, you can buy a young tree online for $29 shipped to your door. www.daleysfruit.com.au/buy/tamarillo-red-tree.htm
Amazing video sharing
Thank you very much!
I just love your channel! I have a tiny backyard in the GC and I aspire to have it as beautiful as yours.
Thank you so much! You can do it!
İnanılmaz güzel görünüyor benimde var henüz Meyveleri olgunlaşmadı çok heyecanlıyım sabırsızlıkla bekliyorum
Can you make us a video on how to propagate from cutting?
ua-cam.com/video/XwKfK8p8VSE/v-deo.html
I would add sensor Sprinckler, might work 😎
I found it slightly bitter, not sweet, too seedy for me. My gardening friend told me she like it better when filtered off the seeds and cooked it into jam.
I love the taste and crunching on the seeds.
There should be a control on possums.
Great on wholemeal toast and honey NZ fan
Can't u put the wire nets on the tree? Make chutney
Too many to net, so happy to share.
You should grow some kangaroo apple's! The fruits kind of look like tamarillo's but smaller
Yumm
Why don’t you eat them? I have never had before
All eaten.
Awesome vids bro
Thanks!
i only got one pollinated fruit on my plant, why??
More bees needed or it's too young
@@RealLifeFruitopia 2 years old from seed is young?
I've never grown it from seed, so not sure. My cuttings fruit in 6 months.
You have plenty of tamarillos Evan after the critters got to it
Never enough fruit!
Birds eat all my peaches and squirrels get all my pecans. They leave me nothing.
If a pest is taking my loot , I set up a trap and give them a two miles ride !
I like seeds from hahaha
This is tomoto 🌲 tree
Where I get has seed
That's not everything, cause I wanna know the comparison of yellow Tamarillo variety that u used to have. To me the red Tamarillo tastes unacceptable 😃
They are beautiful n yummy
They are!
Juicy n delicious
😋
I just hosed my aphids hard. That helped.
I eat 2 the other day I'm still in the bathroom
Could you not trap the possums and re-locate them somewhere else 😂 away from your trees or get a dog
Trapping possums is forbidden, dogs don't travel well as we often fly.
i've learned absolutely nothing from this video
That's too bad.
