LONG time lurker here who finally registered....and now finally posting Well, here we go, I'm wondering if anyone here in this great pool of knowledge and experience has any advice on growing Pepino Dulce? There also seems to be some conflicting information as to whether they'd be able to produce fruit in my SE Minnesota 4b/5a growing season without dragging the whole plant inside for the winter (instead of just the cuttings)...any personal experiences out there from the colder regions of the world? And speaking of cuttings, is there anywhere that has cuttings for sale? Or even decent seeds from somewhere else besides rareseeds.com or tmseeds.com? How about all these great NZ and South American varieties...any place or anyone selling cuttings or seeds of these? And lastly: I've never tasted one and for the life of me I can't find them in any grocery store, health food store, etc (it might have something to with being out of season maybe....more likely it's just the fact that I live on the Minnesota/Iowa border....LOTS of Norwegians [Ja, sure, ya betcha...Uffda! ;D ] and Germans and Amish settled here, but very few to none from South America though)...so, what exactly do they taste like? Lots of questions here....and lots more rambling around my brain about all the other stuff I'm growing this year......Uffda!!!
