The small cucumber beetle also enjoys feasting on the cape gooseberry although they munch only on the leaves.

Birds and critters will enjoy its sweet fruit and it can be found growing in both native vegetation areas and occasionally in pasture areas. It is not a dominant weed but it can be somewhat of a nuisance when working to restore native vegetation areas. Native to South America

Took a long time to fruit. Reasonably good taste. However, hot weather can make the fruit drop before it develops full sweetness.
