I recently obtained one. Is the fruit edible?

Very cool Stephen Clancy. It's a very interesting plan. Mine is still alive after three years.

I doubt if the fruits are edible since most plants in this family (Solanaceae) are poisonous with the exception of Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant and Potatoes. I wouldn't even try it... Plus the fruits are tiny, even smaller than a Cherry Tomato.

Good luck with your plant :)
