Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Cocona!

When I was visiting Colombia the locals picked the Tamarillo fruit under ripe to make juice. They said it tasted better that way.
I like to grow and eat Physalis peruviana (which I think is called Uchuva down south). I think it is the same as the Poha berry that folks in Hawaii grow. There is also Physalis pruinosa which pretty much looks the same but taste a little different. Some years the small husk tomatoes can taste really tropical and berry like and other years they aren't all that special - must be the weather, couldn't possibly be the gardener!
