The Tamarillo, Tree Tomato, or Tomate de arbol belongs to the flowering plant family Solanaceae. It grows as a small tree or shrub, bearing edible egg-shaped fruit with a thin skin and a soft flesh (when ripe), with dark-colored seeds occupying about one third of the interior. The fruit closely resembles a tomato, hence its name. The tamarillo and tomato are in the same family, Solanaceae, but the tamarillo is in the genus Cyphomandra while the tomato is in the genus Solanum.

The tamarillo is native to the Andes of Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia. It is cultivated in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Kenya, the United States, Venezuela and Portugal. It is grown as a commercial crop for international export in New Zealand and Portugal.

Tomate de arbol or Tamarillo is eaten by scooping the flesh from a halved fruit but, in New Zealand, most children palpate the ripe fruit until it is soft then bite off the stem end and squeeze the flesh directly into their mouths. When lightly sugared and cooled, the flesh makes a refreshing breakfast dish. In addition, they give a unique flavor when compoted or added to stews and curries. They are also tasty and decorative in fresh salads. In Colombia, fresh tamarillos are frequently blended together with water and sugar to create a beverage.
