http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?SHRYY 25 August 2008 Physalis peruviana L (Giant Cape Gooseberry) Physalis peruviana grows very slowly compared to the smaller Physalis pruinosa. The pods are much larger. There is fruit forming but still very small. Some of the lower leaves have yellowed from too much rain. The last two pictures depict the relative size of the pods of the two types of Physalis being grown in my garden. http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?DXSRN 2008 growing experience Physalis peruviana L (Giant Cape Gooseberry).
