The tomatillo of choice for homemade salsa verde with its sweet, bright flavor of green pepper mixed with tomato. Plants produce heavy yields of small husk-covered fruits that fall to the ground at full ripeness and don’t require staking. Tomatillos thrive in growing conditions similar to tomatoes (because they are related) but will handle a lot more heat. Grow two or more plants to ensure good pollination.
