Plant of the Day
Friday 2 October 2020
In the Global Growth Vegetable Garden at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Hyde Hall, Essex, UK, the tender perennial Solanum sisymbriifolium (vila-vila, sticky nightshade, red buffalo-bur, the fire-and-ice plant, litchi tomato) was being grown as an annual. This South America plant has leaves covered in sticky hairs with the stems and leaves armed with red, spiny prickles. The white or purple flowers are followed by green, spiny fruit cases that split to reveal bright red fruit which are edible. The flavour of the fruit is described as insipid, like sour cherries or even something like a tomato. The species has been trialled as a trap crop for potato cyst nematode.

The first Tomato Hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata) I've seen all year that hasn't yet been paralyzed and parasitized by the sting of the Braconid Wasp (Cotesia congregatus) who then lays her little white eggs all over its body to hatch and feast. Nope! This one is alive and well and crawling down the spiky stem of a Morelle de Balbis, or Lichi Tomato (Solanum sisymbriifolium), whose berries taste like cherries when cooked. #tomatohornworm #manducaquinquemaculata #braconidwasp #Cotesiacongregatu #integratedpestmanagement #roughwoodseedcollection #kutztownseedfarm #morelledebalbis #lichitomato #stickynightshade #Solanumsisymbriifolium (at The Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center)
Morelle de Balbis, or Lichi Tomato makes red fruit that taste a bit like sour cherries when cooked - that is if you dare to reach in and harvest enough of them. #morelledebalbis #lichitomato #stickynightshade #Solanumsisymbriifolium #roughwoodseedcollection #kutztownseedfarm #seedkeeping (at The Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center)
