Wow!

Amazing indeed. The big plant looks sort of like an aloe, or some sort of a cactus. Didn't you get the fruit from the market? What does it taste like?

Got it from Tesco's, never tried it, bought it for the seeds, its very like kiwi fruit, seeds are through the flesh....

So will the seeds eventually grow up to be like the prickly plant in the hanging basket?

If so, I'm impressed . . . flowers are currently completely beyond me

I was so intrigued by this I Googled it. Here's a long but informative link. It is a cactus from South America, and apparently extremely good for you nutritionally. But needs a very warm climate and is pollenated nocturnally by bats/moths, so afraid you won't get any fruit, Moli! What a fun thing to try!

Thanks for the info Eileen, was not really bothered by fruit, love to get different things to try and grow....these are in my conservatory, which gets very hot in the summer....

Ah, forgot you had a conservatory! I was going to ask you for some spare seeds but it would never do well here; house not warm enough in the Winter.

Oh well, I can grow an avocado instead!
