(60 days) Open-pollinated. Hails from the small Aztec town of Malinalco, in the Ixtapan region of Mexico. Peculiar 3"-long oblong pointed fruits ripen from green to lemon yellow with a flavor that surprises and delights! Sweet and tropical, like a ground cherry, perfect for fresh eating, roasting, grilling and for fruity salsas. Robust multi-branched bushes easily reach 3' tall and appreciate support. Harvest when fruit is plump and husk splits. We are grateful to Wild Mountain Seeds for drawing our attention to this tomatillo, and for the people of Malinalco for tending it. ①
