| I'm not sure if anyone out there can help me. I've been working in an office where they have numerous plants that I have to water. Today I came accross one plant resembling a tomato plant, with these little orange fruits growing off of it. I picked one of them and cut it open. It smelled slightly citrus, but upon putting my tongue up to it, found out that it was very sour tasting. I didn't want to eat it, for fear of death-by-baby-orange. Can anyone tell me what on earth this plant is? I'd really appreciate anyone with some incite. Thank you!!

| Kumquats? Or maybe it's just an ornamental plant? |

| The fruit looks just like those in the website, but the leaves are more like a tomato plant. It's alright, I was just curious. Thanks for your help!

| Hi adf777, Not sure about the tomato leaf resemblance. Have you looked at Naranjilla? If this is it, I suspect you harvested too early. |
