Solanum barbeyanum - Solanum barbeyanum

2 seeds per pack. A very little known Solanum, native to the Andes region in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. Shares some similarities with the Naranjilla, producing medium sized, fleshy fruits that sources say are edible and gathered from wild plants locally. Orange colored fruits, with orange flesh. Grows on a short, prickly stemmed perennial. Owing to its natural range, this species may be suitable for subtropical zones and may withstand cooler temperatures, similar to the naranjilla. #5340
