This Solanum muricatum (pepino dulce) is beginning to interest me.
Is it hardy enough to grow outdoors high in Wensleydale?
Are the seeds obtainable?
When and how should it be sown?
How big is the plant?

See previous threads - subject ISTR 'blue flowered melon tree' or something
along those lines.

It appears to be almost unknown in the UK, so I am posting as I go along
and find out new things.

I understand it is grown as a commercial crop in New Zealand.
