Very rare in cultivation the guava tamarillo was recently introduced to the US. This species is native to the forested mountains of southeast Brazil. The plant is very attractive growing to around 1 meter and flowers at about 6 months from seed. In its habitat it can reach 15F and above 100F so this species is pretty tough. The fruit is sweet and tart and taste delicious. This species will also hybridize with solanum corymbiflora or other east Brazilian tree tomato species. But not with the western andean species. The flowers are purple and yellow and very nice. It can be easily kept in a pot. And it needs cross pollination so grow at least 2 plants.
