I am an edible native tomatillo and     closely related to the tomato. I am traditionally found at the edge of pine forests, but I am not picky about my location. Once ripe, my fruit is covered in a papery-like nonedible covering. The fruit is ripe when it turns yellow and is attractive to humans and wildlife. I will spread if my fruit is left to ripen and fall to the ground. Plant me in a fairly sunny area with low to average moisture.
