Ground Cherry

Garden gifts! These tiny fruit comes wrapped up in a small brown package when ripe and turn a bright yellow color. The husk is removed just like a tomatillo then you can eat fresh out of hand, throw in yogurt, make jams, or bake with them. Delicious sweet treats reminiscent of tropical fruit. Their low spreading growth habit makes them a wonderful companion plant to taller plants in the garden.
