Dulce de La Tierra

Physalis peruviana ground cherry. Yellowish green fruits are round to slightly elliptic and larger than the typical Physalis pruinosa ground cherry. Up to 1" in diameter. Sweet but equal parts tart that is reminiscent of just-ripe kiwi with notes of pineapple. Plants 3-4' tall with an upright growth habit. Later maturing and less productive than P. pruinosa ground cherries but many people says it's worth it for the intense tropical flavor. SSE Accession # 110995
