First recorded in Pennsylvania in 1837, this historic Polish variety is a delightful combination of sweet and tart, with notes of vanilla and pineapple.
The plants have a sprawling habit and produce ½-¾" fruits encased in a papery husk. Unripe fruit — light green — can be toxic in large quantities.
Ripe fruits are light to golden yellow. When ripe the fruit turns a golden orange color and drops to the ground.
