‘Beste, dit is niet juist, physalis pubescens is ten eerste niet hetzelfde als physalis pruinosa, ten tweede wordt de naam Kaapse bes of Kaapse kruisbes gebruikt voor physalis peruviana, ook wordt die ananaskers genoemd’

In 2000 zaaide ik Physalis pubescens van de Franse firma Terre de Semences die wegens moeilijkheden met de Franse staat opging in Kokopelli . (Bij Terre de Semences was geen ras vermeld.)

Physalis “Physalis pubescens Aunt Molly”

This variety has small orange fruit with a taste which certain people say is close to a mandarin.
The variety “Aunt Molly” – called ‘Aent Moll’ by the Dutch of Pennsylvania is doubtless derived from the variety “Goldie” which was distributed by the seed merchant Walter Schell of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1920. The botanist William Darlington described this variety, with orange fruit in 1837 and named it Physalis Pennsylvania with a question mark. It was, in fact, introduced from the Caribbean in the 17th century.

Physalis “Physalis pubescens Goldie”

The sweet apricot colored berries are around 2 cm in diameter. The plants are profusely branching and very productive. They bear until frost.

Physalis “Physalis Peruviana”

Often called “goldenberry” in English. Sometimes (botanically) called “physalis edulis”. This Physalis is considered by certain people to be one of the best fruits of the solanaceae family. The height of the plant varies from 50 cm to 1 m. This plant is perennial in tropical or subtropical regions. Cultivated as an annual in our regions it takes a long time to grow. The plant can produce 200 g. of fruits. The fruit is yellow-orange in colour and is covered in a husk. When the fruit is ripe the husk turns brown and the fruit falls to the ground. They are used in preserves and jams and are eaten raw or dried.
This species is originally from Peru.
