Tomatillos just like to flop around. They don't grow to the same size as an 
indeterminate tomato. Maybe a container would be best. The peach tomato 
will be fuzzy, like peaches, but it's not a prickly fuzz.  You won't notice 
it when you eat the 'maters, but the flavor will transport you.  They're great.

I understand that at least some varieties tend to reach again for the sky, 
after hanging down for a while, so they give a chandelier appearance, 
making picking a bit more complicated than intended.  Margaret L
