FREE: Pepino Melon

The listing, Pepino Melon has ended.

Baker Creek states "(Solanum muricatum) This eggplant relative produces fruit that are the size of a large goose egg with a cream-colored rind that usually has beautiful purple stripes. It has a sweet, mild flesh that is somewhat melon-like. Used fresh in salads or cooked. Beautiful, glossy ornamental plants require a very long season and are grown like eggplants. This fun plant can be grown indoors. Pepinos are popular in New Zealand and have just recently started to become common in U.S. markets. This plant is native to the Andes Mountain region."


I haven't yet grown Pepino but I have germinated seeds for a viability test. Those seedling have been placed in a pot for planting out this spring. I only have stock images to share att. Also, I have limited seeds and this is likely to be my only Pepino auction till my own plants produce fruit.

Beware home collected seeds from hybrid plants. They're no longer the same variety. Ask questions. Research >reliable< sources.
Beware! "GREEN" bell peppers are UNRIPE bell peppers & aren't likely to provide VIABLE seeds. Very few varieties ripen to green. Same for most other pepper varieties. Take a minute to check the variety & discover the color of the RIPE pepper.
