    Has anyone grown this?

    I have just eaten a dried fruit from one of these (goldenberry) and it is really, really nice. As I have a dehydrator, I am now wondering if I am missing a trick somewhere?

    Yep grown them for years FC.
    As easy as toms, but the plants are perennial if kept frost free in winter.

    Ripen a bit late outside, from Sept onwards.

      Top man @pete - just ordered a pack of seeds for the princely sum of £1.78 (Premier Seeds Direct - never had an issue with them!)

        Reminds me of the story I was once told by a young woman who'd tried them and liked them but accidentally shouted across the room at a dinner party, 'Has anyone else here had syphillis?' :lunapic 130165696578242 5::Wino::mute:
