The diameter of the fruit is about 2 cm. MedicinalThe leaf juice has been used in the treatment of worms and bowel complaints. The plant is diuretic. The decoction of calices is used in the treatment of diabetes. No known seed is sown in a seed bed or containers. Fluctuations in the temperature of the dirnal help germination. Plant in permanent positions when about 8 - 10 cm tall. Separation in the spring. This is best done without digging up a plant. Remove the young shoots that grow from the side of the clot, making sure that some of the lower ground shoot is also removed.

Pineapple cherry (Physalis peruviana) is associated with a famous garden plant with red lanterns (Physalis alkekengi). However, the latter is not edible. Pineapple cherries have straw lanterns with yellow/orange berries. Berries are sometimes offered in the supermarket. They have their own special taste - it's not really pineapple and it's not kiwi, but it's fresh and sweet/sour. Immature berries can also have a somewhat bitter tone. It gets used to the taste, but once used it is a good fruit. Fruits contain small seeds that you can simply eat. Pineapple cherries are also called golden berries, or gooseberry cape. The latter is probably because they were once imported from southern Africa. However, the plant comes from a South American country. Fruits are sometimes made of chocolate, beating the petals and dipping berries into warm chocolate. When the chocolate hardens, the leaves come back and we have a neatly wrapped delicacy. Pineapple cherries can be grown in the garden, but in a warm place, for example, near the southern wall. It is also important to start growing early, plants need time to come to fruit. Pineapple cherry fruit. Sowing sow in March for the windowsill in the usual pouring soil. Sow a few seeds in the pan, and weed them out after a month if they are large enough in individual jars. Find a warm and sunny place for plants (window sill/greenhouse/scalding bin) and put them in open ground after mid-May. Pineapple cherries become large shrubs with loose branches that can grow up to 1.5 meters in length. Keep this in mind when feet reserve at least one square meter per plant. If you really want a big harvest it is probably better to tie the branches of the fan shape along the grid. There is also a smaller option for sale (Physalis pruinosa), which is suitable for pot growing on the balcony. This variety has smaller fruits, but matures earlier (from the end of July). The taste is similar. Fertilization Mix multiple hands of compost or pouring soil through the landing hole. In the period, there is no need to fatten. Pineapple fruit with chocolate. Diseases and pests Plant suffers little from diseases and pests. Harvest care is about saving one or more shrubs, then they can just go their own way and just don't need to prune or support. Plants remain green in autumn until the frost ends with a holiday. From September the bottom leaf (which is still green) can be removed to allow the fruits to ripen better, and to be able to find them better among all the foliage. At the same time, stems can be reduced, which also promotes maturation. The fruit at the ends of the stem looks promising, but they won't. Harvest and store the fruit when the lanterns become straw-colored. Remove the leaves of the bowl and wash the berries in water. Then they can be eaten fresh or halved in a mixed fruit salad. We can also serve them with ice cream and whipped cream, or pricked and topped with Grand Marnier as coffee chocolate. At the end of the season there will still be a lot of immature fruit at the plant. Once chosen, they are hard to mature. If necessary, we can release the whole plant and let it ripen a little in the conservatory or inside. The berries can be stored for a long period of time (weeks). If we're lucky, we'll keep the last berries well until Christmas. Pineapples can be made from our own seed. The plant can also spread in the garden. Cultivation report Young Plants a month after sowing. March 13, 2009: Pineapples are sown in a pot with the pouring of soil on the windowsill. March 27: Seeds begin to germinate. The sprouting of plants is quite hairy. April 24: Plants are weaned from individual pots. They're in the garage on the window sill right now. May 5: I put the plants on the street on the terrace. Warmer than the garage. May 21: Plants are placed outdoors. Through the landing hole I mixed a few compost hands and some cow's grain manure. Two plants stand in a warm place at the southern wall of the house. Another plant is located in the middle of the garden. June 14: Plants about 25 cm tall. Side branches begin to develop from the lower leaf armpits. June 29: The upper part of the plant is split: two main branches are formed, and the first flower bud is created in the armpit. A month after landing in the open ground. July 3: The first flower is open. August 24: Side branches ER hangen overal vruchten aan maar ze rijpen nog niet af. August 31: de eerste twee vruchtjes zijn rijp; de lamp geel en droog geworden, binnenin zit een gele bes zo groot als een knikker. September 20: De planten zijn nu aardig productief, om de 4-5 dagen oogst ik een tiental vruchtjes on plant. 27 October: De planten op de zuidmuur leveren nog steeds rijpe vruchten. Als de zon schijnt, wordt het er nog aangenaam. De plant die midden in de moestuin staan is pure zo groot, maar levert beduidend minder rijpe vruchten. Ananaskersen hebben dus echt wat extra warmte nodig. November 20: Nog horse het feet niet afgelopen, van mijn beste plant heb ik nog een twintigtal vruchtjes kunnen plukken. Mijn kinderen eten ze graag, vanwege de mooie verpakking en de fris-zure smaak, denk ik. mei/juni 2010: Op de plekken waar vorig jaar struiken stonden komen hier en daar komen kleine plantjes op die zichzelf uit gezaaid hebben.
