I obtained a Naranjilla, Solanum quitoense, in a trade about a year ago. It bloomed all the way along, but it never set fruit. This summer I set it outside and Presto! I have no less than a dozen fruit.

Nasty thorns on this plant, but I understand that there are thornless varieties.

Some pics, first the entire plant, about 2 months ago.
