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

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!
