Welcome to the Physalis Improvement Project

[Physalis Improvement Project @PhysalisProject]

Thank you everyone for your support of the 2020 Citizen Science project, we have hit 600 sign-ups!

We have currently paused further sign-ups for the project as we evaluate our seed supply.

Thank you!

A perfect day for planting groundcherries and goldenberries! Thanks to the organizing super powers of grad students @EliseTomaszews1 and @DaleSavanah plus the generous help of others we’re off to a great start.

What a beautiful Ithaca day to get our Physalis in the ground and off to growing. So thankful for how generous people are with offering help, truly could not have done this alone.

@jsimba99 That is another name for goldenberry, yes!

[Physalis Improvement Project @PhysalisProject]

It’s groundcherry harvest time, our plants are readily dropping fruit. So sweet and yummy!

@Tony_Di_Carlo The one on the left looks like the Colombia goldenberry to me! Is it more sour?

@revealplant @joy_van500 Wow! looks yummy, how long did you stew them for?
