Hi John,
You’re right about Cossack
Pineapple, it’s Physalis pruinose, so a close relative of Cape Gooseberry,
Tomatillo & Shoo~Fly plant (all Physalis spp).
I’m after seed too, if anyone has
some, so sorry, can’t help you there.
Kind Regards, ExSeedingly Yours,

Looking for Seeds
sorry - not able to help with
synonyms for seeds, or seeds themselves. In fact I have another question
from our market stall in lawson. Cossack Pineapple? Anyone ever
heard of it? from the description it sounded like one of the husked
tomatoes - cape gooseberry for example, but apparently it had a distinct
pineapple taste.

Dear Fellow Seed Savers
I put in a request a couple of months ago for the Seeds of the Phut or Snap Melon but did not
hear back from anyone.
I was just wondering (even if nobody has seeds
available) is anyone familiar with this melon or seen it before in the past?
They come in various shapes and sizes but most have flesh as white as
snow (or very pale orange) and just as fluffy. They have the peculiar habit of
splitting or cracking as maturity approaches and "fluffy snow"
escapes out of the crack.
Any information would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Tammy Holland
