I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly these seeds germinated! Planted them in a pot, and within a few weeks, I saw little green sprouts. They seem to be thriving, and I can't wait for the fruits to appear!
Bought these seeds after reading a lot of good reviews, and I'm glad I did! All of them sprouted within a month, and the plants are looking healthy. I�m excited to see them grow into full-size trees.
This is my first attempt at growing tree tomatoes, and so far, I�m thrilled with the results. The seeds arrived on time, and after a few weeks, I had strong seedlings. Hope they continue to flourish!
These seeds are definitely worth the price. Germination was easy, and the plants are growing very quickly. It's been a few months, and they are healthy. The only downside is that I�m still waiting for fruit.
Started my Tamarillo garden with these seeds, and I am so impressed with the results. The plants are growing strong and healthy. The instructions were helpful too, making the planting process smooth.
