Lulo Quito Orange Seeds (Solanum quitoense) – Naranjilla, Quito Orange, Lulo Fruit
General Description
Lulo (Solanum quitoense), also known as Naranjilla or Quito Orange, is a tropical fruiting plant native to South America, particularly Ecuador and Colombia. It is prized for its bright orange fruits with tangy, citrus-like flavor, often described as a mix of pineapple and lime. The plant features large, velvety green leaves with purple veins, making it a stunning ornamental and fruit-bearing addition to gardens.
Plant Characteristics
Lulo grows as a shrub or small tree, reaching 1–2 meters in height. The round fruits, about the size of a small orange (5–7 cm in diameter), have smooth orange skin and juicy, greenish-yellow pulp filled with small seeds. The fruits develop in clusters and ripen over several months. The plant thrives in warm, humid climates but benefits from partial shade in hot regions.
