Fruit is acid in the outer meat and sweet like a good melon in the inside. This lulo is like no other you have tasted before. You will have the chance to try to fruit this lulo for the first time in the US! I am also offering seedlings of the big commercial lulo (please see pic where I show two lulos on my hand for size comparison). Both types of lulo have spikes, so if you care about getting quality fruit, you will get it with these two types of lulo.
Solanum quitoense, known as Naranjilla in Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Panama and as Lulo in Colombia, is a tropical perennial plant from northwestern Colombia. The specific name for this species of nightshade means "from Quito."
