Known as the ‘Sweet Cucumber’ in its native Central America (‘Pepino Dulce’ in Spanish), the Pepino is like a perennial rockmelon, growing in all frost-free areas. A member of the tomato family, fruit is extremely juicy and prolific with a flavour similar to honeydew melon crossed with cucumber. This perennial sweet cucumber thrives in frost-free climates or can be grown throughout spring and summer in cold areas.
