Can anyone tell me what I can expect in the way the foliage will grow, I dont know how high, or wide each plant will be, also if it will fruit if planted outside. Ive got about 10 plants that are varying sizes, & I dont even know if they will need a staking.


In fact I know diddly squat about the plant except I love the fruits and their little paper lanterns!...

Thanks

Claire

I only had mine in a pot in the greenhouse and threw it out but according to my book they are classed as invasive ! we are talking Chinese lantern Physalis aren't we I think of Kiwi fruit as Cape Gooseberry
