Description
Grow your own sweet, pineapple-flavored harvest with thes unique heirloom fruit that thrives in home gardens. Also known as husk cherries, these low-growing plants produce small golden fruits wrapped in delicate papery husks, similar in appearance to tomatillos but with a distinctly sweet, tropical flavor.
Ground cherries are easy to grow, highly productive, and well-suited for raised beds, garden rows, and large containers. Once ripe, the fruits naturally drop from the plant—simply gather them from the ground, peel off the husk, and enjoy. Their flavor is often described as a blend of pineapple, mango, and vanilla, making them perfect for fresh snacking, pies, jams, and preserves.
We make an incredible hot sauce with our Aji Amarillo peppers and these Ground Cherries.
