Kids Choice * Kids Favorite Sweet Tropical Flavor | Easy-Growing Garden Favorite Add something truly special to your garden this season, with ground cherry tomatoes! These unique plants produce small golden fruits wrapped in delicate papery husks, similar to tomatillos. Once ripe, the fruits naturally drop to the ground—hence the name “ground cherry.” Ground cherries are known for their sweet, tropical flavor, often described as a blend of pineapple, vanilla, and citrus. They’re perfect for snacking straight from the garden, adding to fruit salads, making jams, or baking into pies. These plants are productive, easy to grow, and perfect for backyard gardens, raised beds, or containers. Ground cherries thrive in warm weather and will reward you with dozens of delicious fruits throughout the season.
