"Tree tomato"

I am uncertain of the sub-species.

Although it looks much like a medium-sized tomato, the tree tomato is not a true tomato. Tasting somewhat like a tomato, it is usually eaten with sugar or boiled to make a popular and refreshing drink.

Description: An extremely fast growing shrub to 6m (20ft). Flowers are self-pollinating, and tree tomatoes may bear from seed in just over a year.

Hardiness: Although it does better in climates where the temperature stays above 50F, the tree tomato is subtropical and will bear fruit in cooler climates. Hardy to 25F.

Growing Environment: Requires lots of water and good drainage--standing water will kill the plant in just a few days. Makes and excellent container plant in cold climates.

Propagation: Propagation is usually by seed, but grafting is also possible. Seeds can sprout quickly and seedlings usually show vigorous growth.
