The fruit is tasty with a mixture of sweetness and tart and are orange when ripe.

The Cape Gooseberry is not actually a Gooseberry and is instead related to the Tomato!
The Cape Gooseberry is native to Peru and was introduced to England in the late 18th century.
A single Cape Gooseberry plant annually produces around 300 fruits. If the fruit falls off before the husk around it has dried out and the fruit is still green, it will still ripen if left on a windowsill.
