Tamarillo, (Tree Tomato), Cyphomandra Betacea, Tree 10 Seeds (Edible Fruit)

Late Arrival

10 of 10 seeds never sprouted.

Good value

I believe it's how you try to grow them. My girl grew all the seeds I gave her without issue in small starter pots. I put my in a Glad bag with a wet paper towel and nothing. It wants the dirt...she used a combination of peat moss, cow manure, and potting soil.

The plant germinated well and grew nicely at first. It was beautiful and sturdy, and I was really happy with how healthy it looked as it got established. Unfortunately, it attracted aphids like crazy. I ended up having to separate it from my other plants to protect them, and despite my efforts, the plant eventually died. That was disappointing because it was doing so well otherwise. I am sad I could not save it, especially since it had been growing strong and looked like it had a lot of potential. Overall, the seeds themselves seemed viable, and the plant grew well, but be prepared to manage pests aggressively. If you plan to grow tamarillos, keep an eye out for aphids early and be ready to treat promptly to give them the best chance.

None of the seeds germinated. Claim seeds are fresh I don't believe it. Been growing all kinds of plants and vegetables for years in various soil conditions. Their terms conveniently say no replacement or refund for non germinating seeds. $5.00 plus $3.75 shipping for ten seeds. No,replacement no business from me,

September 20: Right now I have a 25% success rate with something sprouting. While the plant I have is about 6 inches tall, it looks like a Tomato plant and not Tamarillo. I used a leaf identifying app and it is telling me it is a tomato and I know it is in the same family, but I wonder if vendors know the difference as some places call it tree tomato...but it's different. I will post another update once it grows more. October 19th update: OK, the seeds are absolutely, positively NOT a Tamarillo they are selling tomato seeds Disappointing. Unfortunately I am past my return window period, but it takes a while to see what it becomes. But NOT a Tamarillo. I would give this vendor zero stars if I could for not selling what was promised.

The seeds maybe too old, never grow from the day I received until now.
