It is a plant native to Mexico and only here it grows wild way , and it bears fruit annually and is the tomato, its fruit does not reach a large size wild, because it needs care and nutrients that the soil often does not contain and for that reason they must be added manually.

It can reach up to 30 centimeters in height and a bush can have ten or more fruits, although pests can make a dent in it, spoiling some of its fruits.
