Solanum pseudocapsicum ‘Jerusalem Cherry’ – Christmas Cherry Plant (Indoor Evergreen Shrub, 12cm Pot)

The Solanum pseudocapsicum ‘Jerusalem Cherry’, also known as the Christmas Cherry plant, is a compact evergreen shrub admired for its glossy green leaves and bright, long-lasting winter fruits. Perfect as a seasonal indoor plant, it brings colour and charm to your home during the colder months.

Key Features:

  • Compact evergreen shrub with glossy green foliage.

  • Produces white summer flowers, followed by vibrant fruits in autumn and winter.

  • Decorative berries turn yellow, orange, and red, lasting throughout winter.

  • Ideal as a festive houseplant or striking indoor display.

  • Easy to grow indoors with bright but indirect light.

  • Toxic to pets, making placement important in pet-friendly homes.

Product Description:
The Jerusalem Cherry plant (Solanum pseudocapsicum) is a winter-fruiting evergreen shrub that offers year-round interest. In summer, it produces delicate white star-shaped flowers, which are soon replaced by its signature ornamental fruits in autumn. These berries gradually shift in colour from pale yellow to deep orange and red, making the plant a striking seasonal decoration.

With its compact size of around 30cm, the Christmas Cherry is ideal for tabletops, shelves, or as a cheerful addition to a festive indoor display. Its bright, glossy leaves provide a fresh backdrop to the colourful fruits, ensuring it remains an eye-catching feature well into winter.

Perfect for homes and conservatories, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light and adds a splash of natural colour when many outdoor plants have faded. Please note, while decorative, its fruits are not edible and are toxic to pets, so care should be taken with placement.
