Product Description:
(Melothria scabra) Newly rediscovered heirloom. Produces abundant crops of 1-2' fruits that have the appearance of miniature watermelons, and fall off the vines when ripe. Actually a sweet cucumber flavor, contrasted by a surprising sourness, as if they are already pickled! Great for growing on a trellis. 60-70 days.
