tamarillo??
 

anyone know anything about these chaps?

I grew one last year in the greenhouse, It has reached the roof and shows no
sign of slowing down. If I chop the top off it will it bush up happily and
thrive?

cheers

If it doesn't, you haven't (in my opinion) lost much. I
grew this "Tree Tomato" some years ago, both in a (large)
glasshouse and outdoors (in Southern California). Highly
subject to red-spider mite and white-fly, as I recall, and
the fruit tasted like slightly-acidic wet cardboard.
