It certainly is!. I have not grown them but I found this page with this description. Physalis peruviana (P. edulis) -- Cape gooseberry, goldenberry, poha, ground cherry, winter cherry, strawberry tomato, gooseberry tomato -- A 1 1/2- to three-foot-tall perennial native to the Andes that bears bright yellow marble-sized edible fruits. Golden Berry is a larger (one-inch-diameter) strain with a pineapple-strawberry flavor http://www.iserv.net/~wmize/tomtil.html Seem to be a thorough page.

Hi Pods, Does anybody know if 'physalis peruviana edulis' is a tomatillo? I bought some seeds that had a picture on the label of these fruits that resembled tomatillos. Thanks for the help!
