Pepino Melon

Also known as the Tree Melon, Pepino is a perennial shrub in frost free areas, and a relative in the Nightshade family. Shrubs have beautiful dark green leaves and produce purple flowers similar to an Eggplant, which give way to delightful cream colored, egg shaped fruits with a mild, sweet melon flavor when ripe. As a bonus, unripe fruits can be chopped up and cooked into savory dishes, where they very much resemble potatoes or zucchini.
