Petit moineau is an old variety from the Quebec terroir , cultivated since the 1950s in the Châteauguay region. Originating from the wild species Solanum pimpinellifolium , it has retained a part of untamed vitality which makes it a faithful companion to living and generous gardens .

The plant develops a bushy, flexible, and exuberant habit , reaching approximately 1.5 m in height. To support its growth, it is best placed on a teepee or trellis rather than in a traditional cage.
From the end of July until the first frosts, this variety produces a profusion of small red fruits , barely bigger than a blueberry, which shine in the sun like bursts of light.
