I'll probably try some garden huckleberry/wonderberry. Given they're solanaceaes/nightshades, I expect them to grow similarly to peppers or tomatoes. I tend to prefer solanaceaes, they're such interesting plants, lots of different edibles in this family. Well, you've got to be careful with ripeness and about which parts are edible because of alkaloids but they're also really pretty, they usually have nice flowers and interesting growing habits.

Anyways... Some nice suggestions. Did anyone of you grow Jaltomata in the past ? Any comment on growing habit/taste ?

The Morelle de Balbis looks like an interesting plant as well but I'm afraid it'd be too massive. And thorny. Looks like it's really a pretty plant though... The calyx makes me think of a physalis.
