Review
Very tasty
This really self-seeded the second year. I am so glad I found this on the website. This kind of fruit is very common in my home country but very hard to find I'm US. I really like the flavor, sweeter than tomatillo, a little bit like like pineapple ice cream. It is amazing when you enjoy the creamy or butterscotch flavor in such kind of fruit.

Great plant
Okay, these really aren't "tomatillos". They are ground cherries but somewhere in the past someone started calling these Pineapple tomatillo & the name stuck. The flower picture is wrong, too. They really have a flower that looks like Aunt Molly's ground cherries.
But of course anyone who is a ground cherry addict already knows all of this!
I do like these ground cherries. In fact, I like this type better than the "Cape Gooseberries" (Physalis peruviana). I would recommend this variety to everyone & I will continue to grow this variety for years to come (God willing).
They don't taste like Pineapple to me. It seems like every one has a different description for it. One comment that is consistent is, "it's hard to describe the flavor" & I agree. I can't compare it to any known flavor. It's not pineapple, nor strawberry. There is a slight hint of butterscotch. I've also discovered that the more I eat these, the more I like them!
