How to Successfully Plant and Grow Tomato Plants at Home

Tomato trees, also known as tree tomatoes or tamarillos, are not actually trees but rather small, shrubby plants. Here's how to grow them:

Climate and Location: Tree tomatoes thrive in warm, frost-free climates with plenty of sunlight. They prefer well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter.
Planting:
- Plant tree tomatoes after the last frost in spring.
- Dig a hole about twice the diameter of the nursery pot and plant it at the same depth as it was in the pot.
- Water well after planting.
- Space multiple shrubs 2 to 3 feet apart, leaving 6 feet of space between rows.
Watering:
- Tree tomatoes have shallow roots and need frequent watering, especially during hot weather.
- Water deeply in the morning to allow the foliage to dry before nightfall, which helps prevent fungal diseases.
Fertilizing:
- Fertilize sparingly, especially if you planted the tree tomato in rich soil with plenty of organic matter.
- Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer when the plant is flowering or producing fruits.

Pruning:
- Prune young plants to encourage a strong central stem and shape.
- Remove any suckers (small shoots that grow from the base of the plant) to direct energy to fruit production.
Harvesting:
- Tree tomatoes are ready to harvest when the fruits are firm and the skins are brightly colored (red, orange, or yellow).
- Harvest by gently twisting the fruit from the stem.
Protecting from Cold:

If you live in a climate with cold winters, protect your tree tomato from frost by covering it with a frost blanket or moving it indoors
