Hery's Orange tamarillo
Cyphomandra betacea A great open pollinated selection we grew from seed we got from the Santa Cruz Fruit Growers in Watsonville. Big orange fruit. This perennial egg-sized fruit makes for good eating, and is typically made into jams etc or made into a savory sauce. Easily grown from seed (also cuttings possible but not easy), it prefers a frost free environment (or protection from frost). Otherwise grow in a large container and overwinter frost free. ***Purchase of this plant/tree pays for one tree to be planted in Southern Madagascar to fight desertification and to build food forests https://plantingjustice.org/plant-a-tree-in-southern-madagascar/ USDA Certified Organic Pot Size: 4 inch pot Plant Size: 10 inch+ (thinned to two nice strong plants per pot) USDA Hardiness: 10a +, though we have it growing in 9b outside in a food forest micrco climate setting so it is versatile with right conditions.
