Hi there, I am late to this thread but I grew Ground Cherries (Physalis Pruinosa I believe), Cape Gooseberries (Physalis Peruviana I believe) and Pineapple Tomatillos (P. Ixocarpa) this past year. The Cape Gooseberries were the largest, as Mishka posted, about the size of a large old fashioned marble, and the Pineapple tomatillos were the smallest, but very prolific and compared to the other two they matured in our cold, wet conditions, very sweet & well worth growing. The Cape Gooseberries & Ground Cherries produced a great deal of fruit but few matured before the season ended. I've ordered a few different varieties to trial for next year. kd
