I got this fruit from plant nursery and told that this is "Australia apple"...can't find it in google image. It is the size of kiwi fruit but taste like honey dew.
Can anyone tell me what is the name of this fruit?

What do the leaves look like?
i only got the fruit.. but told that is creeping vine plants
This is the fruit inside but not ripe enough.
There is a member of the squash family called an apple gourd, that in australia grows wild on odd patches of ground like central reservations.
Most of the gourd family are bitter though. The cucamelon is about the same size as that.
Googled purple stripy fruit and this came up.....what do you think?
