Re: Physalis: ground cherry and Cape gooseberry
I've grown this. I have a few from different sources and I have got variation. The best ones I've tasted were grown in a garden in a neighbor to my grandmothers house in Albany, CA. They are next to the house and survive all year. They are huge and bare a lot of fruit. I like these particular plants because they seem to have a "tang" to them more so then others I've grown. I finally got some actual plants from that yard and will probably get rid of my others to keep the strain "pure".
While other plants I had had hints of the tang I like it wasn't as strong.
I obtained one from the CRFG Monterey Bay exchange this year as well as one I grew from some purchased seed so I will see how these stack up when they finally fruit.
I have noticed leaf differences in a few plants as well.
