Common Names: Red Tree Tomato, Tamarillo
Family: Solanaceae
Origin: South America (Peru, Ecuador)

The Red Tree Tomato (Cyphomandra betacea) is a striking fruit-bearing tree native to South America, well-loved for its deep red fruits that offer a rich, tangy flavor. Known as Tamarillo, the Red Tree Tomato is an excellent addition to both sweet and savory dishes, providing a bold and flavorful ingredient for jams, sauces, and salads. With its fast growth and abundant fruit production, this tree is perfect for home gardeners looking for a unique and exotic addition to their garden.

Distinctive Features and Uses

Fruits: The Red Tree Tomato produces oval-shaped fruits with a smooth, red skin. The flesh is tangy and slightly tart, with a rich, fruity flavor that’s ideal for adding complexity to dishes. The fruit is commonly used in sauces, chutneys, and jams or eaten fresh with a sprinkle of sugar to balance its tartness. Like the orange variety, the skin is typically peeled before eating, as it can have a slightly bitter taste.

Leaves: The large, heart-shaped green leaves of the Red Tree Tomato provide a tropical aesthetic, making it an attractive addition to gardens and patios. The foliage is aromatic, giving off a light musky scent when bruised.

Growth Habit: The Red Tree Tomato is a vigorous grower, typically reaching 6-10 feet tall, with a bushy growth habit. It can bear fruit in as little as 1-2 years and is known for its prolific fruiting in ideal conditions.
