Tomatillo Queen of Malinalco – Organic
4.19$
Rare on the market, this Mexican heritage treasure is distinguished from other tomatillos by its very aromatic fruity flavor close to green apple, its sweeter flesh and its original elongated and pointed shape. The fruits can reach 8 cm long! This cultivar produces 2 or 3 weeks before other varieties and its very large fruits, eaten fresh, taste almost like giant ground cherries. They are ready when they fall from the plant or when the calyx tears. More productive variety during hot summers.
The plants are between 0,6 and 1 m in diameter.
Culture
Always grow at least two tomatillo plants at a time, so they can self-pollinate. Fruiting of this variety requires cross-pollination. In other words, a bee, the wind or other pollinator must bring pollen from another plant of the same species to the flower to ensure the formation of a fruit.
Number of days for harvest: 70
Available at the ecoumene only
