Pepino              Solanum muricatum                   Solanacea  


Mature Plant

The Pepino plant itself is a bit of a sprawler, growing naturally to about 60cm high but spreading to aprox. 1 metre.

 

We stake our plants up which increases the height to aprox. 1M but contains the spread a little and makes it easier to find the fruit.

 

The pale green fruit of Pepino is decorated with a deep magenta stripe if it ripens in the sun.

Fruit is unstriped if it ripens in the middle of the bush in the shade.

 

 

 

Potted Cutting, any time of year. $4.00
