Dr Wyche's Yellow Tomatillo Seeds

1 review(s) | Add your review

90 days. Physalis philadelphica. Open Pollinated. Dr Wyche's Yellow Tomatillo. The plant produces heavy yields of 2" yellow tomatillos. A popular tomatillo variety prized for its unique flavor and productivity. It is sweeter than average tomatillos, and some describe a fruity note reminiscent of apple/apricot when fully ripe. The fruit is covered in a papery husk that turns brown and splits when ready. Excellent for fresh salsa, salsa verde, and chili verde. The late Dr. John Wyche of Oklahoma developed this variety. He was an avid seed saver (and co-owner of a circus) who reportedly fertilized his gardens with elephant manure. Excellent choice for home gardens and specialty market growers. An heirloom variety from the USA.

Tomatillo Seed Planting Information:

Tomatillo plants should grow in warm areas and receive plenty of sunlight, so choose a sunny spot in the garden. Tomatillos grow much like tomatoes, but faster. The fruit grows inside a husk. Relocate your plants to different parts of your garden each year to avoid diseases. Optimum temperatures for growing tomatillos are between 65°F and 85°F. Plant your seeds indoors 3 to 6 weeks before setting outside. When seedlings are 4" tall, transplant them in larger pots. Plants should be at least 10" tall before transplanting outdoors. Place plants outdoors in a shady area several days before transplanting outdoors. Shelter the transplants to prevent sunburn, wilting, and rain damage. Plant in spring when the soil is warm, at least 3 weeks after the last frost, and temperatures remain above 70 F. You can plant early if you use water towers. To protect plant branches from breaking, use 4 to 5 ft tall cages. Plants can grow 2 to 6 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained garden location. Apply mulch and grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells. Water in the morning only, on the side of the plants and not directly on the leaves.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Harvest tomatillo cherries when they are fully mature using garden scissors so you don't damage the plant. Unripe fruit have a sticky surface. Pick them as they mature to encourage new fruit to form.

I love the flavor of this fresh tomatillo. We eat this on fresh from the garden. it rarely makes into the sauce pot because we eat it fresh. It is not as tart as some tomatillos and grows to an average size. I will grow this one again.
