 78/ Solanum corymbiflora and abutiloides

Very easy to grow and pest resistant Solanums, seem to weather high winds well. Leaves and stems blow with the wind w/o tearing too much. My dwarf tamarillos taste like sugary battery acid. C is supposed to taste like 🍍. Both can tolerate a bit of dry. C is not self-fertile. It’s supposed to fruit in fall but I don’t see flowers yet, tolerates temps down to 17F. Ab down to freezing. Ab is not a heavy fruiter, isn’t really worth the space it takes up.
