tomatillo #869857

Asked May 23, 2024, 9:58 PM EDT

Will a tomatillo produce fruit if teamed together with another plant, and do they have to be the same type of tomatillo to produce fruit?

Good morning!

 Tomatillos do need another plant in order to have the best production of fruit! It can be from a different type of tomatillo but it does need to be from another tomatillo. Another type of plant (even one in the same family!) will not cross pollinate which means the tomatillo will not produce fruit.

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks so much for reaching out!
