I've had this plant in my garden for the last 5 years. It's now pretty frost hardy. I just made sure it's in a spot where the sun doesn't hit it first thing in the morning. So it does get defrosted very, very slowly. The fruit is just amazing. Let it drop off the plant and then open the papery lantern. The round, orangey fruit is delicious. If you leave them on the ground long enough, the 'lanterns' show an incredibly intricate pattern. You can still eat the fruit. :)
Can you tell I am fascinated by this fruit? :)
