Family Solanaceae

An annual plant that produces small, golden, sweet, and tangy fruits enclosed in a papery covering. Popular for desserts, jams, or as a fresh snack, it grows easily in full sun and tolerates warm conditions well. Undemanding, it also makes a very decorative vegetable garden. The fruits fall to the ground when ripe, ready to be picked.
