Ground Cherry Seeds, Loewen Family Heirloom
Ground Cherry Seeds, Loewen Family Heirloom
This is one of my favorite varieties of Ground Cherries. We grew these when I was a kid and my Mom and I made jelly out of them. Also known as Husk Tomato and regarded as a delicacy by the American Pilgrims.
Tasty, cherry-sized fruits grow inside papery husks. The fruit is enjoyed fresh, dried, and in pies and preserves. Can be stored well into the winter if kept in the husk in a cool, dry place.
This variety is HIGHLY productive, but please be patient for them to germinate as they tend to take a few weeks; however once they get going even 1 plant is enough for a pie and a few jellies.
