Customer Tips & Reviews Naranjilla
Naranjilla
Years ago in the 80s I found some seeds to grow Narajillas. Since I was not confident to grow them, I asked a local nursery with a special set-up to try them for me they had no success. So this is a wonderful opportunity to purchase plants from Dayleyshey?

Bellbird Park, QLD, Australia
Unique plant, with purple spikey leaves. Has flowered, but hasn't fruited yet. I am looking forward to making some juice from its fruit when the time finally comes.
WEST FOOTSCRAY, VIC
Has taken a beating from multiple moves etc. It's still fairly happy though. I expect good growth once it gets some stability

Overwatered or curl grubs.Nice decorative plant, easy to grow.Fruit tasted like the unripe picked kiwi fruit you get at supermarkets.

This is the most amazing fruit i have ever had. i am currently living in costa rica and my host family makes naranjilla juice for me and it is unlike any juice i have ever had in the states. simply delicious. i wonder what nutritional value it has as well
Naranjilla
It seems to set fruit really well in autumn, but has a heat related depression of fruit set in summer here. Web info re frost is contradictory, i will test it out. They are very nutrient and water hungry o/wise do well in large pots.Use liquid feeds often

If you keep naranjilla juice for too long it will turn dark brown. It is also the most delicious juice ever
