Michele,
    I have grown Naranjilla several times. I treat it more as an annaul. Also 
I am using it as an ornamental. It has huge fuzzy leaves with a purple cast. 
I think it would fruit better if held over for a year since fruit production 
wasnt that great the first year. There are a few other species that may be 
more productive for using as an annual. It seemed to do better in the ground 
than in a pot. Limbs were always breaking when potted. The plant lost a 
little apppeal to me after I saw it growing as a noxious weed in Costa Rica.
