Goldenberry, Peruvian (Physalis peruviana), potted plant organic
$8.50
Family: Nightshade (Solanaceae)
Short-lived perennial in zones 10 to 12, normally grown as an annual, 100 to 120 days to harvest
(Giant Groundcherry, Topotopo, Cape Gooseberry, Goldenberry, Husk Cherry, Peruvian Ground Cherry, Poha, Poha Berry.) Native to the Andes–a cultivated crop since Incan times. We are currently growing a select, low-growing cultivar that is quick to produce myriads of yellow fruits. Nutritious fruit occurs in a decorative inflated calyx. Fruit is loaded with vitamin A, C and B. Plant prospers in rich soils, but actually produces more fruit in marginal soils. Cultivate as per tomatoes. Harvest when fruit drops. Excellent crop for the tropics, where ongoing high yields provide refreshing fruit and nutrition–much yield for little effort.
