 "Solanum alternatopinnatum"

Vining Solanum from Brazil.  Its is said to taste like passion fruit, but as always do your research with rare solanum before consuming. 

Note- We propagate this vining Solanum from cuttings.  They flower heavily but we have been told they like to have 2 plants that are not genetically identical to produce consistent fruit.  Our current stock are all clones, we have gotten another plant grown from seed to offer in the future.  Most research says self fertile but benefits from genetic diversity for fruit set.  

More info on this fruit can be found linked here or at rarebananas.
