But its fruit is also known as pepino. <br />See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapageria_rosea: "The fruit is an elongate berry with a tough skin containing numerous small seeds about the size of a tomato seed, and are covered in an edible fleshy aril. In the wild the plant is pollinated by hummingbirds. Seed is distributed by birds and other animals.<br />The fruit is colloquially known in Chile as a pepino (cucumber). In the past, the fruit was sold in markets, but the plant has now become rare through over-collection and forest clearance."Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689286618770701205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676706555611983773.post-10845183622153748442011-03-07T03:48:06.430-03:002011-03-07T03:48:06.430-03:00Hi Jim.
