Why Tomatillos Are Small

Question

My tomatillos produce lots of fruit, but they never grow larger than a marble. What can I do to produce larger fruit?

Answer 1

As with tomatoes, tomatillo fruits can vary in size from plant to plant. Tomatillos can be as small as a marble or reach apricot size. The best fruits will have intact papery husks, which indicates freshness. Oftentimes, the size of your fruit may be influenced by water and temperature.
