Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry

Description

(72 days) Open-pollinated. Physalis pruinosa Though native to Central America, this heirloom was widely grown in Poland and is now on board the Slow Food Ark of Taste. Won over our trials manager Heron Breen who had previously been indifferent to husk cherries. “Sweet and zesty.” Some folks compare the flavor of these ½–¾” fruits to pineapple, some to tangerines
