B.C KO T

(Solanum burbankii) First of all, let me say that this is not a tomato, but the species are also from Solanum family. Vigorous bushy plants that grow very fast once established. Early fruit set. Some sources say that unripe berries are poisonous, but ripe berries are edible and safe to eat. I have not tried to eat green berries (why would you?), but I can reassure you that ripe berries are edible and quite tasty! Ripe berries are dark, almost black in color and about 0.3-0.5" in diameter. Prolific self-seeder.
