Dwarf tamarillo (Solanum abutiloides)
The dwarf tamarillo, also known as miniature tree tomato, is a true horticultural gem perfect for gardeners wishing to cultivate uncommon fruits. Its dark green, glossy leaves provide a striking contrast to the oval, orange fruits, which emit a subtle and sweet fragrance. With thin skin and juicy flesh, the fruits resemble a blend of tomato and passion fruit, with a slight hint of acidity.
