Tomatillo – Verde

Description

65 Days | This tomatillo or husk tomato is perfect for salsa. Tomatillos grow encased in a papery shell very similar looking to a Chinese Lantern (flower). The papery shell turns from green to brown and splits when they are ready.  Large fruit and easy to grow, normally producing about a 1 pound of fruit per plant. They are more cold tolerant and tend to grow a bit faster from seed than most tomatoes, however they are still sensitive to frost, so they should only be transplanted out after there is no risk of a hard freeze. Heirloom ground tomato.
