Queen of Malinalco Tomatillo
Physalis philadelphica
A stunning elongated yellow tomatillo originally sourced by plant explorer Joe Simcox from Malinalco in Southwest Mexico. Its unique shape and warm golden colour set it apart, while the flavour leans sweeter and less acidic than typical tomatillos. Excellent for fresh eating, salsas, and specialty dishes that benefit from its mild, fruity profile. Productive plants yield abundant, beautifully formed fruits.
• Type: Indeterminate Tomatillo
• Latin Name: Physalis philadelphica
• Days to Maturity: ~70 days
• Fruit Size: Elongated medium fruit
• Colour: Yellow-gold
• Seeds per pack: ~30
• Growing notes: Start indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost. Transplant into full sun and grow with another tomatillo variety for proper pollination. Benefits from staking due to heavy fruit set.
