It is a small-growing shrub or semi-woody tree reaching heights between 10-18 feet (3-5.5 mts.).

Tamarillo trees bloom in early spring, producing fragrant pink flowers. These blooms will eventually give way to small, oval or egg-shaped fruit, reminiscent of plum tomatoes—hence the tomato tree’s name.

      1. Yes, we do get some fresh produce Martha, but it is often not produce flown in at its peak, like our strawberries are more yellow than red and really tasteless. What I love in Winter is the clementines. Soon they will no longer be carrying them (just November through March here in Michigan).
