Fruit

Passiflora edulis

Once established this climber will supply good crops of round, plump, purple fruit.

Dark green foliage - good strong grower.

Solanum muricatum

Pepino's are ideal in a container on the deck where it will flower and fruit heavily.  Deemed to be parthenocarpic (does not require pollination to produce fruit) however, a much heavier crop results from self or cross pollination (i.e. grow several plants and attract the bees).   

Rheum rhabarbarum

No garden is complete without a rhubarb patch! Strong, healthy upright growth - produces thick green shaded red stalks.

Plants regenerate quickly after cutting. Sow seeds in spring and autumn.

Cucumis melo

Honey Dew has a really sweet flavour, it's lovely and juicy and delicious served chilled. Flesh is pale green to green.

Prefers hot dry climates. Fruit grows approx 10-12cm in diameter.

Cyphomandra betacea

Requires a frost free location along with shelter from wind.

Physalis ixocarpa

Tomatillos are the key ingredient in fresh and cooked Mexican and Central-American green sauces. Fruit should be firm and bright green, as the green colour and tart flavour are the main culinary contributions of the fruit.
