Overview
Machiaw is an early Asian-type hybrid with slender, pink-skinned fruit about 9 inches long and an inch wide, sometimes ranging toward pale purple. Strong plants bear continuously through hot, humid summers and may need pruning and staking to stay manageable; it ranked among the top Asian entries in a Midwest university trial. The skin stays thin and tender as fruit lengthens, so the mild flesh needs no peeling or salting. Start indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting. Pick while the pink is still vivid and the skin glossy, since the skin dulls and toughens once over-mature.
