Planting Guide:

• Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny spot where your Tamarillo tree will receive full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day. Tamarillos thrive in warm climates but can tolerate partial shade.
• Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0). If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with organic matter to improve drainage.
• Plant the Seeds: Plant Tamarillo Seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in the soil, spacing them 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters) apart to give the tree room to grow.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
• Care for the Tree: Provide the tree with regular sunlight and occasional fertilization. Prune dead or damaged branches to promote healthy growth and fruit production.
• Harvesting: Tamarillos are ready for harvest when they turn bright, vibrant colors (typically yellow, orange, or red) and feel firm to the touch. Harvest by gently twisting or cutting the fruit from the tree.
