I have root divisions available for you to plant. They are currently in 1g pots waiting to resprout come spring time. 1-3 roots per pot. Coccinia grandis is a perennial cucurbit commonly known as tindora or ivy gourd. The striped fruits are about 2 inches long and are edible raw or cooked. When approaching maturity, they start turning red from the inside out. They are edible while still green and have a crunchy texture. As they turn red, the fruit becomes sweeter and very soft. They make a very attractive addition to a vegetable tray. Young leaves and stems are also edible after cooking. Even the roots are edible after cooking, and have a delicious flavor. Flowering and fruiting can occur nearly year-round in frost-free climates, but it is most productive during the warm months when the plant is in active growth. Coccinia grandis is native to tropical Asia and Africa, and is recommended for USDA Zones 8-11 (perennial in the coldest zones and evergreen in frost-free areas). It will grow in nearly any soil type. Permaculture vegetable garden vine edible low maintenance thrives on neglect
