Hard ch like in church, then hard eye like your eye followed

immediately
with hard O and te with soft e not like tea but lik elephant.

Chayote...
it
is not a squash, it is a tree grown fruit - seed inside, meat around

the
seed, and protective skin. Fruit. Prepared like a vegetable.


It's not a tree grown fruit, it comes from a vine. I know, I've grown

them.

They grow on vines here too. I've grown them.

When I grew them in Phoenix I had one over 50 feet spreading across my back
fence. It made over 20 fruit that I had to freeze so they were not wasted.

I wonder where Mr. Lundberg is from, where his Chayotes grow from trees.
