The tomato is a plant that does well in containers and is simple to grow. The Purple Tamarillo, also known as the Mexican Husk Tomato, is a nightshade plant that produces the same-named tiny, spherical, green or green-purple fruit. Tomatillos were grown in pre-Columbian times and have their origins in Mexico. Like tomatoes, the fully mature fruits are consumed raw. Chilis and salsas frequently contain the unripe fruits.
