The Easiest Way To Grow Chayote

Chayote is a tender, warm-season perennial. Plant the whole fruit 3 to 4 weeks after the average last frost date in spring, when the weather is warmer.

Chayote grows best where summer temperatures are very hot, in tropical or subtropical regions. These plants need 120 to 150 frost-free days to reach harvest. Chayote is a vine that produces a pale green to white pear-shaped fruit that tastes like a pumpkin with a nutty flavor.

The vine-like stems grow from a tuberous root and can reach up to 15.2 m in length. The leaves are hairy and resemble maple leaves; Male and female flowers are borne on the same vine.

Young shoots, ripe fruits, and tubers are edible. Here you will learn an easy method to grow them in your garden!
