naranjilla

Maria starts with ...
Hello, my Naranjillas are looking spectacular and have been flowering since early spring, but no signs of fruit forming. I have a few of them so they should be cross polinating, any chance that they will ever fruit?

You need to be patient with these, they are self pollinating but they seem to flower for months before they start to set fruit. I almost gave up on mine after months of flowers and then finally they started to form fruit.

Thanks! I will wait and see... They are my favorite fruit juice from Colombia, I am looking forward to juice them... also, another question: they are growing so tall so quickly, can I hard prune them by the end of summer or autumn?

Yes they can be pruned, as you say wait until the end of summer or autumn to make sure you don't cut off potential fruits. They don't usually need pruning except to reduce any straggly growth and take out the older dead branches.
