With the Pepino Gold melon pear (Solanum Muricatum), you bring a true exotic highlight to your garden or balcony. The extraordinary fruit plant bears golden-yellow fruits with a sweet, fresh taste reminiscent of a mix of melon, pear, and banana – a special treat for fruit lovers! Originally, the Pepino comes from the highlands of South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru), where it has been appreciated for centuries for its delicious aroma and high vitamin content. Today, it is also becoming increasingly popular in Europe – both as a decorative potted plant and as a vitamin-rich fruit plant for home cultivation. 🌿 Care & Location: The Pepino Gold loves a bright, sunny location and thrives excellently in pots, raised beds, or greenhouses. Consistent watering is important – the soil should always be slightly moist but not wet. As with tomatoes, it is advisable to regularly remove some leaves so that more sunlight reaches the fruits and they ripen better. After just a few months (about 4 months after planting), you can harvest the first fruits. These are excellent as a dessert, fruit accompaniment, or cheese companion. 🍈 Care Instructions at a Glance: – Location: Sunny, warm & sheltered from the wind – Soil: Loose, humus-rich & well-drained – Water Requirement: Regular, no waterlogging
