Yah, don't ever-ever eat anything unless a local expert says good-to-go. But you know that!
groosha6
I don't remember seeing the fruit, but definitely would like to try it.
suzmonk
OK, cool, that makes sense ... a little exotic to be an accident. I was interested to learn that folks in other parts of the world eat the fruit.
groosha6
Yea, it's in a botanical garden, so I assume it was intentionally planted.
suzmonk
groosha6, I'm pretty intrigued ... do you know how this tropical, South American plant ended up where you found it?
suzmonk
Interesting find. Here's a retail link with better photos, http://www.naranjillas.com/naranjilla_pictures.html
