Litchi Tomato (Solanum sisymbriifolium)
This plant, often used for decorative purposes, produces beautiful white to lilac flowers resembling those of eggplant, followed by small red fruits with a sweet, slightly tangy taste reminiscent of lychee. The fruits ripen around late August in zone 4 and are enclosed in a spiny husk that splits open for easy harvesting.
Additional considerations: wear gloves and use pruning shears when harvesting.
