65-70 days. Originating in Poland, this ground cherry has the cleanest flavor of all the ground cherries we've grown, very sweet and fruity. Turns a golden orange color and drops to the ground when ripe. Has the same kind of papery husk as a tomatillo. Use as you would any sweet fruit. Makes a tasty jam, perfect for gift giving. An unusual and rewarding addition to fruit salads and smoothies.  Absolutely fantastic fruity taste. To me a fully ripe one has a cherry-pineapple flavor. If not fully ripe they have a somewhat citrusy flavor.  My mother's favorite nibble.

Slow to germinate and slow in early growth. Possibly "self infertile" so I usually plant 2 or 3 seeds in a pot and don't thin. Will store months in the husk.
