الوصف

Naranjilla, pronounced (nar-ahn-eeya) grows as a subtropical perennial from South America. There it grows in the mountain areas from 500 to 1500 feet above sea level. As a subtropical, naranjilla appreciates a lot of warmth and soil that never dries out. It is grown for its large cherry tomato sized fruit which are green and covered in trichomes when unripe. The fruit turns yellow when ripe and the "fuzz" wipes easily off. Naranjilla has been cultivated for many hundreds of years and is an ancient Incan crop. We have fun thinking that Naranjilla may have even come from another planet, brought here by some adoring alien plant lover.The ancients even referred to the fruit of this plant as "Nectar of the Gods". Plant your naranjilla anywhere you like as I have found she adapts well to both sunny and shady spots.Never let the roots dry out completely but take care never to over water. Use containers with good drainage. Sand is a good medium for naranjilla as it will drain well and resist nematodes.Feed and grow naranjilla as you would a tomato keeping in mind that naranjilla can get hungry.When they start looking a little yellow or pale green, feed them some more. Sure to get lots of attention on your patio this summer.
