Wonderberry - Morelle
This nightshade, also known as sunberry, offers an abundance of juicy, flavorful black berries, which can be eaten raw or cooked.
It is grown in the same way as tomatoes.
It is the famous creation of Luther Burbank, the great genius of varietal creation, from a cross between Solanum villosum and Solanum guineense.

Sow in pots at a temperature of between 16 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 5 weeks before planting. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clump into the ground at a minimum distance of 50 cm, burying the stem up to the first leaves. Water abundantly at the time of planting.
Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it's best to grow them under cover and, depending on the soil, water them regularly.
