Well, a few fruit DID set, after that. They did not ripen before the threat of frost, so the plant came indoors. Check out what is happening to the fruits that set, as we head into 2024!
I particularly find the last sentence, in the Missouri Botanical Garden excerpt, regarding the Tree Tomato:
Noteworthy Characteristics
Cyphomandra betacea, commonly known as tamarillo or tree tomato, is a semi-woody, shallow-rooted, sub-tropical evergreen shrub with a treelike form that typically grows rapidly to 10-15’ tall (rarely in an ideal climate to 25’ tall) and features large edible tomato-like fruit on plants clothed with large ovate green leaves. It is native to South America (probably between 5,000-10,000’ in the Andes Mountains of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile) with cultivation and naturalization occurring in Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Venezuela, Central American and some Caribbean islands. This plant is widely grown now in New Zealand as a commercial crop. It is a member of the nightshade family (same family as tomato and eggplant). Houseplants, no matter how healthy, will not fruit indoors.
From my experience, I would add, "These plants may not flower indoors, but FRUIT WILL RIPEN indoors, if they first set outdoors"...

The ORANGE JASSAMINE, Murraya paniculata, is blooming! These flowers have a great citrus-like scent, and perfume the air. This plant, along with the plant, pictured under the next caption, that is STILL BLOOMING, have my house smelling grand...

This is 'Fudingzhu", and although her location has changed, she still wants to bloom, like she has in EVERY MONTH, of the past year. Anybody else growing this sweet-smelling EVERGREEN subtropical, in their garden?
