    Harvesting Litchi Tomato

    Litchi Tomato (Solanum sysimbrifolium)
    Scissors and gloves were used to pick the Litchi fruit, due to many thorns. The fruit is prone to splitting if heavy rainfall and sun follow each other. There are many blossoms and immature fruit left, and if the season allows an 8 quart basket will be the total harvest. The fruit is pleasant to eat and will be used for snacks raw. One of the two plant in the garden was much superior in growth and fruit production. I will grow about six plants next year.
