It's one I grow every year, I keep trying varieties that produce larger fruit, but it seems like the larger ones aren't as sweet. I bought mine from Lake Valley in 2009, still growing it this year. Don't believe the 12-18" tall claim, vines can easily reach 10' and need support. If I had to estimate, I would say 10 ground cherries per gallon is a good rule of thumb.

I purchased two dwarf "Top Hat" blueberry plants this year, which grow to be compact and should do well in containers. I doubt I will get any blueberries this year as the plants are still small, even though they have a few flowers. I believe these are tissue culture plants. The ones I got are very healthy, and I can hardly wait to take cuttings for more plants.
