| Was visiting in Virginia last year and saw this plant. Nobody knew what it was, so I took a few of the "fruit" for seeds and grew them out this year. This is what it looks like. Any idea what it is? Are they some kind of tomato? Annual or Perennial?

| Don't know if this will come out as a bigger pic. Something must have changed since the last time I posted a pic. Any ideas? Thanks! Paul

| Solanum pseudocapsicum or "Jerusalem Cherry". The fruit may be poisonous. It is a tender perennial, can be moved indoors for the winter. Al |

| Thanks everyone! When I searched "Solanum pseudocapsicum" or "Jerusalem Cherry", it appears exactly what I have. Only one problem, it is poisonous and deadly to animals, so I guess it will have to go, since I have a dog running around the yard that likes pick its own tomatoes, strawberries, and raspberries. A unique plant, but I don't need problems! Paul |
