TOMATO TREE : from SEED to TREE

[@beachman8106]

Thank you Dr Willem Van Cotthem for a clear, concise & fact based tutorial. I am preparing to germinate Tamarillo seeds right now from fruit from my tree. The info you showed is exactly what I was searching for. In addition to eating the fruit raw, I also make Tamarillo jam and Tamarillo chutney. Beste wensen from Mornington, Australia.

[@willemvcot]

Thanks Paul. wish you a lot of success and tons of fruits.

Thank you for sharing your expert guidance...I am starting right now.

[@Cappyrising]

What a fabulous video!!!!

[@joanmeademeade9391]

Very good thank you for doing an share it my first time with this fruit

[@danieldutoit2187]

This video helped me plant two red tomato trees in my yard two years ago and now I have a move coming up so I rewatched it to help me create trees from their fruit (and my neighbour's yellow variety) at the new place

[@thessesteban2988]

Wow nice vedio

[@sayyadahmariamfatemah1134]

You made my night a happy and hopeful one... Thank you i will definitely try planting your style as my brother likes this fruit

[@willemvcot]

Wishing you a full success !

Amazing. I love this extremely well done video and also your desire to feed the hungry. I just ordered a bunch of seeds so this video will help me to know what to expect.

A branch fell off our Tamarillo (Tomato Tree) during a storm and we just stuck it in the ground and it grew. We have three trees now. The fruit from this can be used as a base for curries, preserved, or just fresh - my fav!

[@erickkimani8344]

Nice video. I have enjoyed every bit of it. I have learnt alot and planning to put in practice. thank you

[@malaco89]

Wowww interesante este video... lo pondre en practica..... gracias por compartirlo !!

[@mickeymo102]

Beautiful video watching growth from a tiny seed and the music is great. This tree is very uncommon now, I remember we had one back in the 50's, don't see many now. Thank you for the video.

[@jamesbilly2528]

nice video very well done .wish you all the best ,

[@marioalcayaga291]

Thanks Willem, for this very interesting video and your smashing thoughts. Best Wishes

[@samirmanohar573]

Excellent 👌 video made ,one of its kind with even a kinder message included

[@DitasVeg]

this video is amazing! I just bought some tomatillo seeds and found it white searching for more information. I am going to try this method instead of planting the seed in the big container. Thanks so much. It also refreshed my botany knowledge

[@nukanewzealand7282]

This isn't a tomatillo, while both fruits are in the same family a tomatillo looks more like a green tomato - this is a Tree Tomato (Tomato tree) or Tamarillo. Perhaps that is where the confusion comes from being similar words.

[@williamhuffman3036]

Thank you, beautiful and inspiring. Inspiring enough, in fact, that tomorrow I will start to germinate the seeds that just arrived in the mail.

[@jamesbilly2528]

i'd love to see a video done with papaya (cirica papaya) from seed to tree ,just like the video on the tomotoe tree .god bless you .

[@bennydelph987]

Goodday Sir. Your video is great. your sound to. Congratulations on a super presentation. I am a qualiried Bsc Botannist. Your presentation reminds me of my univercity lectures, Only more, much more explicit with the help of photos. I salute you. Henk (South Africa)

Brilliant! Thank you so much! I've been given a fruit and will start tonight.

Hi, when is the best time of the year to plant seeds and cutlings of the beautiful Tree Tomato??

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

Can you plant plums and mulberry ??? Video for these fruits

[@willemvcot]

[@danieldutoit2187]

Hi. Me again. So this time round the seeds molded instead of germinating. Any idea what I can do differently to prevent that?

[@willemvcot]

When collecting the seeds from the fruit, wash them first in a weak soap solution, then wash off the soap and let them dry thoroughly before getting them germinating.

[@danieldutoit2187]

@@willemvcot Thanks. How long until I can expect to see them germinate?

[@jacquestjie]

I started germinating some of my seeds as you demonstrated a week and a half ago but I don't really see any progress. How long can it take to germinate?

[@willemvcot]

maybe you should wait a bit more !

[@jacquestjie]

Willem Van Cotthem I have the seeds in a warm spot but its not in direct sunlight. Should it be in direct sunlight?

[@drgrlitz]

Jacques Nel: I took 2 tamarillo fruits, cut them in 5 mm. thick slices, put them in a pot & covered the slices with a little earth. The pot was in direct sunlight every other day. In 3 weeks, I had 5 sprouts growing rapidly.

[@ravindrakale5302]

Hi sir it’s super informative video, I am from India. I just want to know , where I can get the Tree Tomato 🍅 seeds . Please I want to try this in my farms. Thanks.. please help me..! Thanks 🙏

[@willemvcot]

I don't know what the possibilities in India are, but in my country Belgium we can buy the fruits at the supermarkets. I got the seeds that way. Wishing you success.

[@sayyadahmariamfatemah1134]

Yes in kenya we get this fruit... Depends wre you stay in india... Try the seeds shop or fertilizer shop or wre you buy fruits from.. ask your relatives and friends

[@willemvcot]

Cher Codeur, Merci pour l'appréciation. Presque toutes les graines germent en obscurité. Il faut donc les couvrir d'une petite couche de terre (en général une couche de 2 fois la dimension des graines).

[@adriano3483]

Já tem 12 dias as sementes na terra e tou esperando germinar as sementes. Deve ser a partir de um mês.

[@RockyEvolutionGal]

I'm assuming you eventually had to transplant at them out of the yogurt tubes ?? Did it yeald fruit?

[@jorge8355]

How is now the Tamarillo?

[@willemvcot]

It's 2 meter high and forming new leaves.

[@digenovafilm]

great, very informative, thanks!

[@willemvcot]

Yes, it's a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). Please find a lot of information at Google : search "tree tomato".

[@loki2826]

video fine. very informative to newbies, how ever an example of a mature one would have been I helpful. to balcony growers.

[@willemvcot]

Dear Tanja, thanks for your appreciation. Images of mature tomato trees can be found on Google. in Belgium it is impossible to get adult trees due to our temperate climate.

[@nukanewzealand7282]

My biggest Tamarillo is probably 8 ft now - its between 2-3 years old. Good first crop this year ... next year should be a lot more.

[@theCodeurGlitcheur]

Bonjour willem, super vidéo comme d'habitude! Petite question: pour la germinaison, faut-il laisser les graines à l'obscurité? Merci d'avance! (vous parlez bien français au moins?)

[@umaryumnadiary8737]

Good morning Professor. Is it possible to use tree tomato as rootstock for grafting methode? As scion i will use Eggplant

[@willemvcot]

I don't think that will work as it are two different genera.

[@monarchatto6095]

@@willemvcot tamarillo and eggplants are in the same genus

[@Pitjinjarra]

Been watching many videos om propogating exotic fruit trees from seed. For once, can someone say how long the germination period was from seed to transplanting. every video is like a cooking show and ends with " here is one i made earlier " but no one knows how long it took and reason why people continuously ask this particular question. Please if you want to show a video of growing something from seed at least say how long it took. This is not a dig at this particular video, it was good and informative, i just want to know how long it took from seed to plant in a yoghurt container. Thank you, my rant over.

[@dexter161]

mine took a month to germinate

[@drall2026]

lovely

[@peelmeone]

Is this plant of the nightshade group of plants? I have eaten this and it is quite delicious. But, it was a novelty fruit, and no taken seriously, Please tell me more.

[@mytube4385]

which is the month for its seeding?

[@murithim]

i have been trying to germinate their seeds but each time none germinates.how can one know that the seeds are viable during selection?

[@karenwenzel7192]

all tomatoes are cousins of the nightshade plant. but very good to eat. green is good as well

[@willemvcot]

My pleasure.

merci beaucoup!

I believe its called the tree tomato AKA Tamarillo.

where do you get the seeds

Treemato😁

[@Maichbaba247]

It is called the tree tomato, not tomato tree. Use the name Tamarillo to avoid confusion. Good pictures though.

[@willemvcot]

Sincere thanks. My logic tells me that a tree tomato is a tomato growing on a tree, while the tomato tree is a tree producing tomatoes. Google mentions the two terms.

[@bridgets.6464]

tamarillo is a modern New Zealand word for the tree tomato. Anyone speaking from South America (its homeland) can call it what they like.

Why for the poor?
