- I'm going to be tasting Tamarillos (Tree Tomatoes) for the first time, harvesting some seeds and showing you the Tamarillo trees that I already have growing =)
Find me on Facebook - / thekiwigrower
When I was living in Panama it was common to find tree tomato juice on restaurant menus - they would just scoop out the seeds, then blend the flesh, ice, water and sugar into a delicious drink.
When we moved to Ecuador we discovered that they often use tree tomato in their favorite condiment, ají. Good stuff, high in vitamin C. A shame it's next to impossible to find in the US.
We ate them in Hawaii where they grew well. We'd pick them when they are really ripe and bite the end off and suck out the insides. They are good
Bought some today, never know of these tomato before I'm now enjoying them.
I love that you're able to have time to grow and to produce these videos. Very nicely done
Nice video Kalem, thank you for posting videos about all these interesting fruits that I've never heard before, I must try them! Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Best way to eat a red tamarillo is peeled then sliced like a tomato raw in a sandwich with pepper and salt that sandwich can literally stay in the sun all day and still taste just as good as when it was first made...Have them on toast the same way....For desert peel whole tamarillos halve them and put them on top of half a cup of sugar...leave them for the day and have them with vanilla icecream....OMG
I just bought some seeds online and then I found your video... My wish is to grow them in big balcony containers, I read it is possible . So let's see... thanks for the video.
thank you for the clip, we probably going to try to grow some on our farm
There are also yellow-skinned ones. I love them both, but I find the yellow ones a little spicier than the red ones.
The Video posted by you was nice -- you are very observant -- Keep it up and wish you all the Best -- I am a Tropical Nurseryman so was just surfing and saw your Video posted --
.......they don't particularly like frost nor do they like intense sun. They're happy being in predominantly dappled sunlight with couple hours full sun in morning or /and afternoon . Those big leaves just wilt and droop in the hot sun. Shade cloth cover is also an option and this protects from frost also .
...I heard a kiwi accent and you claim you've never tried em before. Didn't think it possible .
We ate them in malaysia too.especially at cameron highlands,pahang.sweet and juicy.
Was looking for these and I found the seeds at rare seeds, my wife made me a drink from tamarillos wheni stayed with her in Colombia
They need shelter and warm conditions. Typically stewed in a sugar syrup. Very costly to buy! Worth growing.
Thats how we served them when I was in New Zealand, where they grow in the North island, outdoors. Stewed with sugar, and add unwhipped double cream or custard...amazing flavour! :-P
They normally start fruiting from the 2nd year, and have a life span about 12 years.
Thanks so much. Check about the tomato thing because apparently they are a member of the nightshade family :)
We make it into a juice, like a strawberry drink, tastes delicious :O)
i have this plant in Germany.
i grew it from seed. but it can't take frost in germany. every winter, i have to relocate it.. it will rot in.. i have to chop it lower.. and it always come back in summer, but it only bear flower when autumn come.. but never fast enough before frost kills it.
it should be able to grow in N.z, i suppose you are based in new zealand.
truly
andrew
yap, you are in n.z i heard you mentioned it in video.
Nice with a sprinkle of sugar
Thank you for posting this. We inherited a mystery plant via a relative who had a fruit in Malaysia nearly 20 years ago and had no idea what it was. We now have a few plants growing in London, UK from a single fruit off the first plant. They grow well in pots in our London garden taking them outside in Spring and Summer but bringing them indoors in Winter. I'll take your advice about cultivating them and see if that improves our success in getting fruit. I guess we have different pests in UK. Some caterpillars like the leaves but their worst problem are aphids.
Very cool video! I hope I can find some to try.
Baie dankie nou leer ek weer by jou.
Thanks for the upload.
I have one that is very unstable. It's about 1.5 metres high. I planted it straight from the pot into the ground but it appears that it's tap root has grown around in a circle just below the soil and it is unable to anchor itself in the ground?? I don't want to tamper with the root system but as it is a relative of the tomato what would happen if I built the soil up around the base of the tree and chopped it off to almost ground level? It has only the single trunk. In Australia :)
they are the best
here in Egypt we call it kaka .
Hey im grown up eating this in my country bhutan we call this tree tomato and we eat make sauce with chills and green onions .
wow those leaves actually look edible 4:24 it looked like spinach or bok choy
Great video
Add sugar, stir well, then mix in some chocolate ice cream.
My country call it Sweet Eggplant. The plant grow like a eggplant!
love it!
cool. I have a red 1 meter high, but has not yet give us fruit, perhaps this summer.
Do you use a sponge to ensure the tree guardian of the winds?
Hi, is there a chance of getting of getting some none-astringent Tamarillo seeds?
I tried to buy the seeds but no one has heard of this fruit. I'm interested in unusual / rare fruits
Hi. Do you need to grow 2 Tamarillo Trees together so that they cross pollinate or is 1 Tree ok?
They can do well by themselves :)
Can you put salt on them like tomatoes? I don't really like sweets
Best way to eat a red tamarillo is peeled then sliced like a tomato raw in a sandwich with pepper and salt that sandwich can literally stay in the sun all day and still taste just as good as when it was first made...Have them on toast the same way....For desert peel whole tamarillos halve them and put them on top of half a cup of sugar...leave them for the day and have them with icecream....OMG
I am Montagnard indigenous I never seen this type of tomatoes before.
They are not tomatoes that just what we call them in NZ
How long it's take to grow from the seed ?
I read it takes about 2 years
Quick question. You say the word astringent a lot in the video. Could I ask what that means as I'm a total newbie
google is your friend.
Čudovito.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lair! I just tried after this video, It tastes like an evil! And it is freaking expensive in Newzealand!
Can i get some "Tango" Tamarillo seed from you? The sweet variety orange skin?
thanks for the video =D
Can you help?....my plant grew to a 1 1/2 metre tall then the leaves died off...do you know what might have happened here. I too live in NZ ( Akl )
Probably white fly if the leaves were eaten or frost if the leaves turned brown tamarillos hate the frost.
вкусный фрукт напоминает помидор с крыжовником или персиком мы зовем его томадрила
my wife loves them it's making her water
I'm thinking those Leaves must be pretty Good too if the Caterpillars are Eating them...
Steve Vegas not necessarily for humans. Many caterpillars are capable of eating extremely bitter plants that then make the caterpillars unappetizing to predators. Also the plant is in the deadly nightshade family so the leaves could possibly be deadly to humans. I don't know much about it in particular
Can these be grown indoors? Full sun? Partial sun?
They can grow in a quite bit of shade but they do like the sun. They need a relatively sheltered area :) Not sure how they would do indoors but they do grow quite big
Show me the way to tamarillo.
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
buongiorno scusate se mi introduco io o comprato i semi Tamarillo dalla rete non erano buoni c'è qualcuno che li vende o scambia semi grazie
Use DE on the leaves to kill the bugs.. nice video thanks
lol if its too ripe you cant harvest seeds you joking me thats the beat time to harvest
Best for salsa.
Best in a sandwich with lots of pepper and a little salt.
Tomate de árbol
loool im pretty sure if i found them i will buy them
Hello from Victoria Point QLD, are you able to answer a question on pruning, do you want my email address, or use this site?
I want these seeds. can u help me please. I am from India. can we cultivate in India
I would imagine they would do pretty well in India they hate the frost
Great Never see them Before !
I think I won't Like Because I don't like Tomatoes
You kept emphasising and differentiating them as "astringent" and "non-astrigent" types without actually explaining what these terms really mean...
They kind of mean like, a stingy sour type of taste. I bought an astringent type, that’s what it felt like.
I think these fruits taste so awful lol..the flavor profile is complex in all the wrong ways.
Haha fair enough! each to their own :). they definitely are a little unusual
Try one peeled then sliced raw into a sandwich with lots of pepper and a little salt you may be surprised.
