Physalis philadelphica

This variety was introduced into Canada by a famous chef, and initially produced by Sunshine Farm Seeds in Kelowna. This is the largest tomatillo we have ever seen, with fruits averaging about 7cm in diameter, with some the size of an apple. Large sprawling plants produce an abundance of large fruits that can store in a cooler for over a month after harvest.
