That was me. I didnt intend to impart misinformation about tomatillos, but
it has been my unfortunate personal experience that one large healthy plant
with tons of flowers will not bear any fruit what-so-ever. I have also seen
anecdotal reference to this same problem on another plant list earlier this
spring. I guess it must've been some other problem tho. Maybe too much
nitrogen. Or maybe a different genetic strain. I just tried to look it up in
my various veggie books, but tomatillo apparently wasnt that widely grown to
be included in my older books. From my experience however, I wont take the
chance and grow one alone again.
