It is a small, shrubby erect perennial that can be grown as an annual. The nipple fruit is related to the naranjilla and tomato, and the plant looks similar. Usually grown as an ornamental for its unique resemblance to a human breast fruits. Fruits are fleshy, poisonous, and contain several seeds. They are about 3-5" long and are grown as ornaments, for their odd shape.
