About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Chayote comes from a Mesoamerican crop tradition and is a climbing member of the squash family. Its fruit is often treated as a vegetable, with a mild character suited to soups, stews and cooked side dishes. The vine's large scale makes it quite different from a small ornamental plant in a border.
Plan a strong support and enough growing space for a vigorous climbing crop. Chayote has a distinctive propagation biology: it is commonly planted as a whole mature fruit containing its seed, rather than handled like an ordinary packet of dry squash seed.
