Also known as “husk cherries”, tomatillos are a wonderful addition to salsas. Harvest these as fruit ripens and tan husks open. Grow as you would a tomato plant… in full sun with loose, compost enriched soil. They will need to be caged or tied up to a support as they can get tall.
Varieties:
- Grande Verde: Produces high yields of 3-oz. (90-g), globe-shaped Mexican husk tomatoes on a medium determinate plant. Unique flavor of the green fruit makes a tasty salsa verde. (75 days)
