How tamarillo fruit trees have renewed my youth, fortunes

Moses Nyarango may be 81, but on new ideas, he is as fresh as a daisy. While fellow farmers are still complaining about maize and other grains, he is onto new things.

Since he retired, Nyarango has been growing tamarillo (tree tomatoes) on his quarter acre farm in Nyambaria village, Nyamira County. The vibrant mzee has planted 500 Tamarillo fruits and intends to increase more trees since he is the only farmer planting the same in his locality. From the look of things, business is not bad.
