Question
Hi, I have this growing in my garden in seacoast Nh, sunny and dry. I tasted the fruit last summer and it was very much like the ground cherry I have grown from seed but I wanted to check with an expert. The leaves are quite different and it didn't appear to match any species listed on your site.
Answer
Dear QJaus, you do have a species of Physalis (ground-cherry) in your photograph. I can't tell you which species without some measurements and an understanding of the underground organs that anchor it to the ground. However, perhaps knowing that it is a ground-cherry will suffice for your purposes. Best wishes.
