  Tree melon is a term used for several melon-like fruits growing on trees or large shrubs as opposed to melons, which grow on vines:
  
  * Carica papaya (Papaya) of the Caricaceae
  * Solanum muricatum (Pepino) of the Solanaceae
  
  Neither of these is a true melon, as these are in the Cucurbitaceae.
