CLOSED: 3 Naranjilla Plants for trade rare Tropical

Clemmons, NC(Zone 7b)

naranjilla (näränhă'yō) , large tropical subshrub (Solanum quitoense) of the family Solanaceae (nightshade family), native to the Andes. Tomatolike fruits, orange-colored and leathery-skinned, grow along the large main stalk, sometimes 10 ft (21.3 m) high. Their juicy, flavorful, slightly acid pulp is much used locally for beverages and sherbets. The naranjillo, or lulo, became known to North Americans as a beverage at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Naranjillo is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Polemoniales, family Solanaceae.

Arejay59: Didn't really see any plants I could use, I would gladly trade you some seeds of what you needed for other Herbs/spice seeds you have just let me know how many of each seed you need & I will give you a list of what I can use in return. Really wanted to get a comparable plant in trade 1 for 1 for these Narajilla's or will sell one for $6 + shipping.
