My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Anyone growing a Tree Tomato Plant?

14 years ago

These are indigenous to south America and are supposed to be fast growers.

The tree has nice large leafs and also bears fruits that are almost egg shapped that go from yellow, green to red. The skin tastes aweful, but you can scoop out the fruit inside.

Either way I just picked one up today and was just wondering how old they have to be to bear fruit or at what height.

If you've never seen one check them out online as they are not too fussy to grow and do grow well, can be grown indoors, but fully grown they can get to about 8-10 ft high.

Thanks,

T
