My mistake, I remember cutting them from the backyard tree of a friend. But
the vine must have been climbing on that particular tree so all I remember
is picking from the tree. Thanks for your corrective action!!

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.
