MELON 'Pepino' --Solanum muricatum--
MELON 'Pepino' --Solanum muricatum--
AKA 'melon pear', deceptively appearing and tasting like a baby honeydew melon, Pepino is actually related to eggplants! Fruit is common in South America but doesn't travel well, so it's unusual to find this treat in the states. Can overwintered indoors. Get rare this year!
