I want some fruits

It's an indoor plant with 2 inches-long leaves and typical orange fruits big like the tip of my thumb. Can anyone tell me the english name and also the way to get fruits. After I bought the plant, the fruits fell in 2-3 weeks. Since, there is always flowers on the plants but never give fruits. Is there something special to do to get some fruits? Thanks, Christian A literal translation is Jerusalem cherry. If so, its botanical name is Solanum pseudocapsicum. Don't eat the fruit which are poisonous. Premature fruit fall could be due to any number of things, most related to stress of some sort - eg too much or too little light, water, nutrients &c. My guess is to do with light if you're growing it indoors. It is a frost-tender evergreen Mediterranean native, flowering in summer, best grown as an annual according to my info. As you can probably guess from the name, it's related to potato, eggplant and tomato. Cheers Nick |
