ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Solanum muricatum which has been designated the "Cascade Gold" pepino. The subject variety was genetically mutated from plants which originated in La Serena, Chile. This fruit resembles other varieties of pepinos, but is superior to them in respect to having a very sweet flavor with no typical pepino aftertaste, and its ability to set and bear fruit in abundance in Lynden, Wash.
