The one that grow in my house compound is Physalis minima [1]. It is hard to distinguish between Physalis peruviana [2] and Physalis angulata [3] as they have similar looking fruits and came from same Genus that is Physalis [3].

| A fruitful tree |
This one I move it to the land area near drain in front of my house. Seems like it is bearing more fruit here than the one that I leave in my house compound. Hoping to grow more of them so that later I would be able to make nice jam out of the bountiful fruits.
It is also feel nice to be able to harvest the fruits when the tree originally was just happens to grow by themselves in my house compound. Talk about me being lucky.

I found that the one that I leave to grow in my house compound bear less fruit and the tree is taller since they have to compete with the weeds that grew below them. Well, at least now I do know which area and environment that is more suitable for their growth.
Regardless the seed is free since it grow by themselves, I still give attention and affection to them. In order for it to grow consistent fruits for my daily consumption.
This tree have plenty of medicinal benefit. However, I only focus on the fruits for Vitamin C supplement.
