Solanum betaceum
a slightly different species than the one posted above by oink... this S.betaceum is the one I have growing, Ive seen them growing as high as Volcano Village all the way down to HPP...
nightshade family (eggplant, peppers, pohaberry, tomato, etc.) so should grow from seed easily
Ive tried cuttings but they didnt take...
"Tree Tomatoes" are often called Tamarillo in Hawaii...
its a madeup name given to them in New Zealand in mid60's to help them sell better...
they are all from Central/So.America...
******************************************************************
save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
