I don't like the domesticated ones much. Do you need wild resistance for cold adaptability or do you want explosive growth? The people at Going To Seed have a breeding program for tomatillos and many more. A lady has send me some resistant flower corn from Peru, but it seems to be difficult because flowering times do not match up. I'll have to collect pollen and apply that a year after to retrieve Peruvian genetics into the population. I might take that step this year into the breeders world. Hope you find what you're looking for here.
