Tomatillo Pineapple, or Physalis ixocarpa, is a fun twist on the usual tomatillo. This plant brings together the zesty taste of tomatillos with a hint of pineapple sweetness. It's a great choice for gardeners wanting to mix things up in their veggie patch. Just give it some well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine, and watch it thrive.
The fruits come wrapped in a papery husk that turns brown and splits open when they're ready to pick, usually from midsummer to early fall. These plants need moderate watering and a little support to deal with their sprawling growth. They generally grow to about 3 to 4 feet tall.
In the kitchen, Tomatillo Pineapple adds a sweet twist to salsas, chutneys, and sauces. You can enjoy it raw or cooked. It's perfect for anyone who loves to play with flavors in their garden, offering a unique taste that's both versatile and easy to grow.

How to save seeds
Tomatillo will not cross with tomatoes or peppers, but will cross with other varieties of tomatillo. Flowers need to be exposed to other flowers for fertilization. Five plants are generally the rule. Seed is ready when fruit bust through husk. Dry method is fine.
