Andean Melon

The Andean Melon is producing the first fruits. I hope to try some before the first frost. It is one more of my concerns, covering this plant.

Is that what we call a tomatillo Aleyna?

I don't know Karen. It is also known as peer-melon. Bothanical name is Solanum muricatum.

Thanks Aleyna..its not. Tomatillo is another name for Physalis. This solanum is known as Pepino as well.

I'm trying to germinate Solanum quitoense (Naranjilla) which is from Ecuador.

Fantastic Aleyna! Very smooth fruit. I’ll bet it is very fresh and tastes amazing. Fingers crossed you don’t have issues with frost.
