I'm also trying out a tomatillo plant for the first time this year. The single plant has grown tremendously but set no fruit. The trunk is probably about 1" in diameter after just over 2 months of growth. I'm curious to know if cloning the plant would be an option. If so, is there any particular process? Can I just take a cutting, stick it in dirt, and watch it set roots? If I were to clone my existing plant, would they successfully pollinate and eventually give me some fruit, or, since it's a clone, would the self-incompatibility persist?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
