Geography doesn't change basic genetic traits. Tomatillos are not self-fertile and require at least two plants as well as insect pollinators (not a problem--bumblebees and sweat bees LOVE tomatillo flowers). Perhaps there have been varieties bred more recently that don't require that? But if so, I'm unaware of them.
