GROWING TAMARILLOS
Agriculture Bulletin No. 307
Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries

The tamarillo or tree tomato is a native of the Andean region of Peru. The first known record of the tamarillo in New Zealand is in the 1891–92 catalogue of D. Hay and Sons, Auckland.

The commercial production of tamarillos in this country began in a small way more than 50 years ago, but it was not until the supply of tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples, and citrus from overseas was restricted during World War II that any appreciable quantities were produced for marketing.

In New Zealand this fruit used to be called the tree tomato. The tree tomato officially had its name changed to “Tamarillo” in January 1967 to provide a more appealing and exotic name, especially for export promotion.

This handy little booklet supplies information on how to grow and care for tamarillo plants.

28 pages. Illustrated. Price 80c.
