Tomatillo - Plaza Latina Giant Green

Physalis ixocarpa

Tomatillo Plaza Latina Giant Green is a distinctive variety producing large, pale green fruit with papery yellow-green husks that fill out fully at maturity. It delivers high yields and is notably less prone to dropping fruit at maturity than most other tomatillo varieties, making harvest timing more forgiving and reliable for home growers. Tall, vigorous plants require staking or support and perform best with consistent warmth and moisture through the season.

As with all tomatillos, plant two or more for cross-pollination and the best fruit set. The large pale green fruit is excellent for fresh salsas, sauces, and cooked dishes where its bright, tangy flavour and generous size make it one of the most practical tomatillo varieties available.
