Interesting that they grow wild in Indonesia.

The seedlings I posted pictures of and talked about here all fruited in their first season; actually I found I planted them too close together, so I thinned out two of them. I found these seeds, from the 'common tamarillo' produced fruit that was just o.k. I found fruits for one of the superior, large red varieties locally and am starting all over again and trying to germinate them and grow new plants. If successfull, I will only keep one of my old seedlings and grow three plants of this variety with better fruit.

If anyone here has viable seeds of orange or yellow varieties for trade or SASE, I'd really love that. I bought several seed packets from tradewinds for a yellow variety but the seeds never germinated.
