Pineapple (Ground Cherry) Tomatillo Seeds (Organic)
Tropical flavor, sweet fruit.
Pineapple (Ground Cherry) Tomatillo is a unique and flavorful variety that produces small, golden-yellow fruit wrapped in papery husks. These sweet and tangy berries have a tropical pineapple-like flavor, making them perfect for snacking, adding to salads, or using in jams and desserts. Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, Pineapple Tomatillos mature in about 75-80 days and are highly productive, yielding abundant fruit on sprawling, bushy plants. This warm-season crop is easy to grow and performs well in traditional garden beds or containers. The fruit drops to the ground when ripe, signaling it’s ready to harvest.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Tomatillos love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Soak the soil 4-6" deep at 7-day intervals. Mulch to preserve moisture. Avoid wetting the foliage when watering.
Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2" apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the time each day until they spend a full day outside. Plant in full sun, except in hot climates where some afternoon shade is recommended.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest individual fruits when the husk begins to split or the fruit fills out the husk.
