This tree puzzles me.
I've tried to know its name unsuccessfully.
Some call it tomato tree or granadilla.
What's its real name?

Sold in the U.S. as "Tree Tomato", and the red ripe fruit is edible, but not particularly tomato-like in flavor.

I can't take credit there, Steragram, other than for being a fast typist and a quick reader - I typed 'tomato tree' into Google to see what came up - and this did, immediately!

Well, thanks very much, bamboo, I wasn't even sure the name could be a Google clue... [smile, silly me]

I was gonna try granadilla, then gooseberry tree if tomato tree came up with nothing, lol

Now if hadn't said anything you would still have been getting the credit for universal knowledge Bamboo!

Naughty of me in the first place to not credit my source... which we're supposed to do, really.
