Cape Gooseberry is a tall growing plant that flowers in July and August and then produces bright orange fruit.  It requires well drained soil of any type and will grow in poor soil too. Grow in partially shade or full sun. If the soil is too rich you will get loads of leaves and not so much fruit, so go easy on the feeding and manure.

It may look as though it has died in the winter but will regrow in the spring. In colder areas you will have to plant new seeds every year indoors or a greenhouse in April/May.

It is related to the tomato and potato and has a bright yellow fruit when ripe. It is very sweet, making it ideal for adding to fruit salads, pies and jam making. Much in demand!
