Anybody else grow Tree Tomatoes (S. betaceae)?

Just curious, because from browsing the Tomatoes forums it looks like everbody grows S. lycopersicum cultivars, and I'm curious as to whether anybody is growing Tamarillo or Tree Tomato (S. betaceae) in their gardens. I ask because I do - they're better suited to the high volumes of rain I get (no splitting).

These are called, Tamarillo. What do they taste like? Are they similar to tomatoes in taste?



I was just reading up on these and I found out they're frost tolerant and grow well anywhere citrus can grow.
