Melon Pears

[berksmike]

Just planted my pepino (melon pear)seeds which I got from T&M.
The fruits look great and it says theyre delicious so I'm very excited.

Has anyone grown any before and if so how did they do?

Cheers

Yes, I bought a plant. It died. Apparently they take a few years to fruit, if ever they do.
Good luck!

Hi mine came as young plants and i put them in black buckets,then in the poly tunnel and now there is fruit galore.

Hi i got my plants 2 or 3 months ago and mine has lovely abundance of fruit.

I have heard good reports about these but at the time I could not find any on-line.

Other than T&M are there any sites selling the seeds?

Cheers for the link just ordered the seeds

I guess I should leave till next year now - something to look forward to

i've sowed 4 of the seeds yesterday, and will save the rest till next year, they may grow enough to survive winter,( if this weather keeps up) i'm not sure, but if not, i've still got some seeds left.
