Husk tomato, also known as Low ground-cherry, Groundcherry, Downy groundcherry, Hairy groundcherry, Strawberry tomato, Chinese lantern
Husk tomato thrives in a sunny environment with well-draining soil, making it suitable for many gardeners. It requires consistent watering, especially during fruit set and growth. One special care point is to provide support, such as a cage or stake, as husk tomato can become top-heavy with fruits. Another is to keep an eye out for Physalis-specific pests, like aphids and whiteflies. Its overall care is straightforward, aligning with typical tomato or tomatillo cultivation practices.
