- Species and varieties: The Juanito Tomatillo, also known as Physalis philadelphica, is a variety of tomatillo, a member of the nightshade family. This variety is known for its large, round, green fruits that are perfect for making salsa verde and other Mexican dishes.
- Hybrid or heirloom: The Juanito Tomatillo is a hybrid variety, bred for its large fruit size and high yield. Despite being a hybrid, it can be grown from seeds saved from the previous year's crop, although the resulting plants may not be identical to the parent plant.
- Pruning and training: Juanito Tomatillo plants can grow quite large and may need support to prevent the branches from breaking under the weight of the fruit. Pruning is not usually necessary, but removing some of the lower leaves can help improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.
- Fertilization needs: Tomatillos are moderate feeders and will benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and again when the plants start to set fruit. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can promote leafy growth at the expense of fruit production.
- Hardiness zones: Juanito Tomatillo seeds are suitable for growing in USDA hardiness zones 4-11. They are a warm-season crop and do best in full sun.
- Climate requirements: Tomatillos prefer a warm, sunny climate with well-drained soil. They are somewhat drought-tolerant but will produce better with regular watering. They are not frost-tolerant and should be planted after the last expected frost in spring.
