'''Growth Habit''': Pepino dulce is a small, unarmed, [[herbaceous]] plant or [[bush]] with a [[woody]] base and fibrous roots. Growth is erect or ascending to about 3 feet high and several feet across. It is similar in these respects to a small tomato vine, and like the tomato may need staking or other support.
