Brendan says... Hi amanda, It's actually a type of yam, grows on a large vine. Climbs up trees, along fences etc. Probably best peeled, cooked then mashed. Tastes like potato/pumpkin/yam all together. Sometimes can be slightly bitter. My mate peels them, then puts slices on his bbq. He loves em. Some bake them whole too. One a year is enough for me. It can be an acquired taste :-) | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 16th May 2011 6:36am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... Hi All, Oh they're fun to peel alright, the flesh can be slippery as a butcher's apron! The flowers hang down from the vine, very nice, they fruit like mad. (up here). I'd say they would grow anywhere :-). Don't know about sending any to WA. Seems like I've always had them, don't actually know where they came from. Oh yeah, some are so bitter they're inedible. I might have some small ones left, contact me at: bahiggoatmackaydotnetdotau | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 17th May 2011 6:30am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |
