    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This South American shrub produces small, golf-ball-sized, fuzzy fruit in late summer and fall. The fruit turns orange when ripe and the outer skin is peeled away leaving a dense sweet pulp. Similar to Solanum quitoense in growth habit, but the pseudolulo fruit is many times sweeter and can be eaten out of hand. It's a fast grower when given sun and warm temperatures. Plants grown in the north need container culture so they can be protected from freezing weather as the fruit has a long ripening season.
