Ground Cherry Seed for Planting Mexican Husk Tomato | Plant unique non-GMO heirloom cherries variety for outdoor home vegetable garden. Rare veggies for growing outside gardening.

I started these indoors 4/8 to be able to transplant outdoors end of June - I live in NY. Early May I took outdoors into a portable greenhouse. Water daily, seedlings started to emerge end of May. I had room for 3 plants , 1 went until a 2’ h x 2.5’w pot, others on north or south spots in a raised bed - full sun. 8/9 I started harvesting - just a few were yellow / mostly green berries ( do not eat green) letting then ripen with an apple and banana near by- very tasty- glad I took the chance to try something new. In the last photo the seedling are in the lower right corner- center is a tomato- kind of looked like basil when small - even the lanterns that look old almost whitish yellow had called to the ground had green unripe berries- 9/4- earlier harvest never ripened with multiple accelerators- so left reminder to ripen on plant best to leave until they fall off or the pouch pulls back and self exposes the berry

I forgot to review these ground cherries. Not one seed sprouted. I may have gotten an old packet, but I would have expected a few to sprout.

The plant took a while to grow. I honestly thought it was a shrub growing until I noticed a cherry here recently. Can’t wait to try my first one!

Took a couple of tries but they grew last summer, didn’t really eat them though because forgot and was gone a lot, I hope they will come back on there own this year, that’s why I got them in the first place to add to my food forest and read that they re seeds itself.

Great germination rate of over 90% and plants grew vigorously, lots or fruits that taste amazing!! Even self seeded the following year!! If you have never grown these in your garden I highly recommend it!! Great value, quality and healthy plants!

I bought these seeds to explore what ground cherries are but not one seed spouted. I can not remember ever having no seeds start from packaged seeds. I would recommend that you look elsewhere if you want viable seeds.

I see a lot of negative reviews regarding germination, so I’m sharing my experience. I started several seeds in one peat container indoor back in March. This is my first year trying out gardening so I had no idea what I was doing. The seeds germinated, slowly. For about two months they all grew to about 2 inches tall. I thought they were not going to make it. But I thought, what’s the worst that could happened. So I transferred the plants to a 5 gallons grow bag. I did not divide up the plants because they looked so fragile and I didn’t want to risk destroying the roots. For another 2-3 weeks they grew about another inch. At this point I thought I had failed and nothing will grow. Then we got a good amount of rain (in Texas) and they took off overnight! I didn’t even get a chance to separate them anymore so all 4-5 seeds ended up growing together in one grow bag. I think the plants like the heat and rain, but that’s my opinion. Pictures were taken on 06/10/25. The plants are doing very well, with lots of fruits growing. I have never had ground cherry before so I cannot comment on the taste, but I’m excited to try it. This was fun to grow and a learning experience for me as well.

They took about 21 days to germinate literally..I had already planted later than I wanted to. They’re up but I’ve read they have to have so many days to ripen the ground Cherry and with it coming up so late it could die b4 I get a ripe cherry. I moved this to a greenhouse from the outside garden In case it was planted too late. Just now got the greenhouse built.
