Solanum aethiopicum
“African eggplant”

For rare fruit growers: this rarely grown member of the tomato family grows 2.5’ tall and bears fruits varying in shape (oval& round) and color (white, striped and green - turning red or orange when ripe). The fruits are “edible,” having a long history of consumption in West Africa. It is recommended you harvest them (for eating or cooking) before they turn red. Otherwise, you can let them mature for ornamental value. Grow like a tomato.
