Tamarillo Red

Tantalise your taste buds with the exotic tamarillo. Juicy, nutritious, and packed with flavour, tamarillo fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C while being naturally low in fat and calories. This fast-growing, attractive tree produces clusters of fragrant pink flowers in spring, often fruiting within 18 months of planting. Medium-sized red-orange fruit follow, renowned for their sweet flavour and low acidity. With its large, soft, heart-shaped leaves and self-fertile nature, tamarillo is an easy and rewarding addition to the home orchard.
