I'm not sure that the fruit will ripen properly in the UK. It is unlikely to survive outside overwinter if the temperatures drops below -2˚C for any length of time.

Take care with sites such as Wikipedia not always correct information.

GoY member "Wasp" will know everything you need to know I am sure. He is awesome on the subject.

Agree with drc726 above, however on this occasion the info seems okay, but feel free to research further! All I know is that it can take many months for this 'tomato' like plant to mature. If frosts etc threaten then try picking what you have and putting them in a dark drawer cosily lined with newspaper or kitchen roll? It might be worth a try rather than losing unripened fruits at this time of year?! See what member 'wasp' says too ...
