Native to South America, it offers an unusual and rewarding fruiting plant for growers in warm climates or those willing to overwinter it indoors in cooler regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is commonly used fresh, in salsas, chutneys, jams, and desserts, with a flavor often described as a blend between tomato and passionfruit. Plants grow upright with large, somewhat tropical-looking leaves and can begin fruiting within one to two years from seed under good conditions, making them an attractive ornamental and productive addition to a garden or large container. In cooler zones, they are best grown in a pot and moved indoors before frost.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Solanum betaceum\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Red\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Perennial shrub or small tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, branching\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Rich, well-drained, slightly acidic\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 300-600\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 9-11 outdoors; container grown elsewhere\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 14-30 days at 70-80F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly press into soil, keep moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 6-10 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Protect from frost; thrives in warm, sheltered locations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663280275592,"sku":"EXGA-943","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_b7c48836-2ff2-4a90-bb8a-fb6f452c23b3.png?v=1791896436","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-tree-tomato-solanum-betaceum-sweet-red-fruit","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
