Description:

Observing the fruit, most people guess it is a (strange) variety of pumpkin. That's why it's often called "Pumpkin on a Stick" or a "Pumpkin Tree". Others, speculate that it may be a foreign tomato, lending to the name "Mock Tomato". Few people guess what botanists call it..... Ornamental Eggplant. The plant and fruit look like no Eggplant that anyone has ever seen....unless you live in Asia, that is.
