Tiny fruit, big personality! Also known as Mexican Sour Gherkin or Mouse Melon, cucamelons look like miniature watermelons but taste like crisp cucumbers with a hint of citrus. These adorable grape-sized fruits grow on vigorous, vining plants that produce abundantly all season long. Perfect for snacking fresh off the vine, tossing into salads, or pickling for a tangy treat, cucamelons bring fun and flavor to any garden or kitchen. The vines are easy to grow, highly productive, and drought-tolerant once established—ideal for trellises, fences, or containers.
