Young Naranjilla Plant.

Naranjilla

The naranjillas(Solanum quitoense) are starting to fill out nicely.  They are planted in a mixture of potting soil, top soil, manure compost, and bark/leaf mulch.  They are extremely shaded behind the litchi tomatoes and do as good as the ones out in more sun. That ability would make an excellent house plant.
The leaves are colored with purple, soft, large, and fuzzy leaves bigger than my hand. However, the hairs that cover the leaves make it stick to almost anything it rubs against, which makes it vulnerable to high traffic areas. They have been the slowest growing of all the garden berry plants this year, and are not suppose to fruit in my climate(USDA zone 5a.)  In about September I will bring it in the greenhouse, but it will get too cold and need to come inside the house for a few months.
