Tomatillo: Toma Verde 4" Pot

This dependable, prolific variety also produces fruits up to 2” in diameter. Underneath its papery husk, Toma Verde is deep, bright green. As it ripens, its verdant green color pales to a less intense, slightly soft green color with an almost golden blush. To help manage Toma Verde’s enthusiastic, rangy, semi-determinate growth, surround each plant with a large Tomato cage, or even better, a three-foot diameter cage made of reinforcing wire. They develop into bushy, sprawling plants that measure between three and four feet across. Remove the husk only when you're ready to use the fruit. Don’t be surprised to find that once the husks are removed, the skin may be sticky and need to be rinsed in cold water.

Plants will be available for pickup in mid-May.
