This variety yields abundant, sizable green fruits up to 2 inches in diameter throughout the season — larger than many standard tomatillo varieties. Its durability is unmatched: Aunt Moliy’s performs exceptionally well in compact clay soil, extended dry spells, and hot southern climates where other tomatillo varieties struggle. The prolific fruiting habit means generous harvests from a single planting, with both plants required for cross-pollination and fruit set. A workhorse heirloom built for reliability, production, and authentic salsa verde flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(25, 91, 11);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 96%.
