Place Tamarillo in a frost-free place over winter
The Tamarillo, also called Baumtomate, is native to South America. Temperatures below zero do not tolerate them. In winter, therefore, it needs a cool, light-filled space in the house or conservatory.
Ideal conditions for the wintering of the tree tomato
Bring Tamarillo over the winter
During the wintertime, the tree tomato takes a break in which it does not flower and grows only slightly.
A temperature of 5 degrees is sufficient in winter. During this time you only water when the root ball is almost dried out. You are not allowed to fertilize during the winter break.
Before you bring the tree into the house, check leaves and trunk for pests and diseases. These spread very quickly in winter quarters and damage the plant.
Tips & Tricks
Gardening experts recommend cutting Tamarillos hard in winter. Then they develop a bushier growth and do not shoot so fast.
