Solanum melanocerasum. Transplant out in mid-May to June, with your tomato seedlings. The small, 1cm (1/2″) fruits begin to set early, turning from bright green to jet black.. We recommend waiting until after the first frost to harvest all at once the fruits that have turned black this is when this fruit is at its best flavor. It’s a fruit for cooking and sweetening, with a flavour very similar to blueberries and Concord grapes. These work great for making your deserts and preserves, but require the same kind of help with sweetening that rhubarb does.
