Pepino Melon- Solanum muricatum 3 x 20cm cutting

Other names:Tree melons, pear melons and melon pears.

Description:

Ready to harvest when they turn yellow and develop some purple stripes/markings. They taste exactly like a sweet melon when ripe- rockmelon or honeydew is what I would compare them to. 

They grow to around 1m a small shrub similar to a tomato or eggplant. 

Looks great in the veggie patch or in a nice glazed pot on a balcony or amongst herbs.

Self-pollinating

They fruit through February, March, April, May, and June. Mine are flowering now in May. 

Care: 

Plant in full sun or partial shade. 

Can be grown from stem cutting

Like rich well-drained soil

Prune hard after flowering to keep it neat and promote further growth and keep moist in hot weather.

Plant Sizes: 3 x 20cm cutting
