Plant the Kiwano melon someplace where you don’t go often. That sucker is ALIVE and wants to prey on exposed skin! Seriously, the thing is from another world and the vines reach out 24”-36” with fangs! Even the melons have little needle sharp claws on each of the bumps. Weird, weird fruit.

Interesting, though.

I have a spot out back for it where I am hoping it just goes crazy like the wild grapes do . It's out of the way so it can go as crazy as it wants and the thorns should help it survive the wild animals .

I have roughly 6 acres out back that are out of the way and really can't grow anything in a traditional way. Two years ago I piled up multiple huge compost piles around the area and they are now pretty much broken down . I am hoping to plant some of these around the bases of the piles and just let them go wild. If it fruits on its own I'll have something new to try , if not I only lost a few bucks for the seeds .
