The Red Tree Tomato (Cyphomandra betacea) is a fruit-bearing tree native to South America, including Peru and Ecuador. It is also known as the Tamarillo Tree and belongs to the Solanaceae family. The tree produces deep red fruits with a tangy, slightly tart flesh and a rich, fruity flavor. It grows vigorously to 6โ€“10 feet tall, with a bushy habit, and can bear fruit in as little as 1โ€“2 years.

Fruits are oval with smooth red skin; flesh is tangy and slightly tart. The fruit is commonly used in sauces, chutneys, and jams, or eaten fresh with a sprinkle of sugar to balance its tartness. Like the orange variety, the skin is typically peeled before eating due to its somewhat bitter taste. Leaves are large and heart-shaped, green and aromatic, with a musky scent when bruised. The plant adds tropical visual appeal to gardens and patios.
