Similar in character to Plaza Latina Giant Green but earlier to mature and slightly more compact in fruit size, it delivers excellent yields of consistently sized fruit suited to both market gardeners and home growers. Harvested apple-green and under-ripe, the fruit adds a bright, tart punch to fresh salsas; left to ripen to yellow-green, it develops a pleasant sweetness that works beautifully cooked or fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprawling and vigorous in habit, plants benefit from a trellis but will happily crawl along the ground if left to their own devices. Note that tomatillos are usually self-sterile — always plant at least two for reliable fruit set and generous yields through the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, Summer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost; transplant after frost risk passes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-90 cm apart with trellis support recommended\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprawling to 1-1.5 m; trellis recommended\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-14 days at 21-24°C\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 days; harvest apple-green for tart salsa or ripen to yellow-green for sweetness\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tart and bright when green; sweet and mellow when yellow-green ripe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Rasmussen Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58707156861231,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/4098\/4879\/files\/Tomatillo_-_Cisineros_10_seeds.png?v=1792835954","url":"https:\/\/rasmussengardens.co.nz\/products\/tomatillo-cisineros-10-seeds","provider":"Rasmussen Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
