Tomatillo Queen of Malinalco Seeds
💰 Price: Package of 10 seeds
The Tomatillo Queen of Malinalco (Phylasis ixocarpa) is an old and rare variety originating from Malinalco, a town in southwestern Mexico. While often called the Mexican husk tomato, it’s not a true tomato but is closely related to the pineapple cherry. 🌿🍅 This larger and sweeter variety stands out for its exotic flavor and larger size compared to other tomatillos.
The plant is bushy, reaching a height of 180-200 cm, and produces fruits surrounded by a thin, lantern-shaped membrane. This membrane starts green and turns brown and translucent when the fruit is ripe. The fruits ripen from green to light yellow, and their round to elongated shape makes them visually striking. The flesh inside is sweet, juicy, and has an exceptional citrus aftertaste that sets it apart from other tomatillo varieties. 🍊
This variety is particularly renowned for its sweetness, making it perfect for salsas, salads, fruit desserts, and compotes. It is also used to make Salsa Verde with chilies for an authentic Mexican dish. 🌶️🍽️
How to Grow Tomatillo Queen of Malinalco
Sowing Instructions
Sowing Time: Start seeds indoors in March.
Transplanting: Transplant seedlings in April when temperatures are stable and after the risk of frost has passed. 🌞
Sowing Depth: Plant seeds about 1 cm deep in well-draining soil. 🌱
Germination Temperature: 18-25°C (64-77°F) is ideal for seed germination. 🌡️
Germination Time: Usually 2-4 weeks depending on conditions. 🌱
Planting Location
Sunlight Requirements: Full sun. 🌞
Space: These plants can grow quite large, so ensure ample space between them (around 60 cm apart) for optimal growth. 🌿
Support: Provide firm support to prevent the plants from falling over as they grow tall and heavy with fruits. A trellis or stake can be useful. 🪴
Soil and Watering Needs
Soil Type: Prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Loamy or sandy soil is ideal for healthy growth. 🌍
Watering: Water regularly but ensure the soil is not waterlogged. Tomatillos need consistent moisture, especially during the fruiting stage. 💧
Plant Growth and Maintenance
Height: The plant can grow to about 180-200 cm tall, so it's crucial to provide proper staking or support. 🌳
Pruning: Minimal pruning required, but removing any dead or diseased foliage will help the plant stay healthy. ✂️
Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth, especially during the early stages. 🌱
Harvesting Tomatillos
Harvest Time: The tomatillos are ready to harvest in August when the membrane turns translucent and the fruit changes color from green to yellow. 🌟
Ripe Fruit: The ripe fruits will often fall off the plant on their own. If they’re still attached, carefully twist and remove them. 🍅
Post-Harvest: After harvesting, the membrane will remain around the fruit, keeping it fresh and protected. The fruit is best used fresh, but can also be preserved in jars or made into salsa or compote. 🍽️
