Golden Pearls Berry Seeds
$4.00
This fruit has several alias’s – hexentomate, golden wonderberry, goldenberries. The growth habit and look of this plant is very much like that of the wonderberry, though if you haven’t grown wonderberry that won’t be much help. The height is about 3 feet, depending on it’s proximity to neighbours. The plant is quite high yielding, branching and the small, orange fruits ripen all summer long, right into October. The taste of this berry is not that sweet, it has a tart quality in there along with some sweetness. The flavor will be affected by when you pick the fruit, the longer they’re on the branch the sweeter they become. I’d give this fruit a 5/10 taste rating, according to my tastebuds anyway. If they were dehydrated they flavor might be sweeter. An interesting novelty plant. 2023 seed.

I enjoyed eating these right off the plant. I did not water them during the drought and they were not growing many fruit. As soon as the rains came, the plants exploded with growth and were covered in berries. I found the flavour to be nice, especially after a breakfast of tomatoes.
