Tomatillo, Plaza Latina Giant Green

This variety is like the Brandywine of tomatillos.  We're talking like GOAT level here, folks. Much higher culinary value than the smaller yellowish varieties.  Epic salsa verde.  A good salsa verde is a game changer, in our humble opinions.  We also love that because the fruit is substantially bigger, it's less work to remove the husk.  Anything that saves time during harvest is always a win for us! 

This special giant Mexican strain produces 3-4" wide, green fruit on super tall plants that definitely benefit from support.  From a growing standpoint, treat tomatillos like you would tomatoes.  They like full sun and well draining, fertile soil.  

We recommend growing more than one tomatillo plant in your garden because they're usually self-sterile.  Translation: to produce fruit, they need to have another tomatillo (can be any variety) nearby.
