JohnMc1 starts with ... It can be a very large sprawling vine, each node can throw down a tap root and then reproduce a new base and run from there. The fruit can be heavy and numerous as well, about the size of an over-inflated NRL football. Better to let sprawl over the ground. Thanks for the link, I haven't found a practical use for the fruit. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 23rd January 2015 10:47pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
Diana says... I have just planted a couple of seeds of Cucurbita ficifolia in garden beds but I might need to move the seedlings as it seems that they are perennial. It looks like an amazing curcurbit with a lot of uses in many cultures on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucurbita_ficifolia Does anyone know should it be on a trellis or is it better on the ground?
