Produced on the farm, we originally got these seeds from the Potager Ornamental de Catherine in Saint-Appollinaire, Quebec. This delicious fruit can get up to 1.5m long and is better eaten when at around 2'. The flavour is nutty and light but distinct for sure. We are happy to add this to our collection and will probably be growing it for a while. Will need support if you don't want it to crawl everywhere. When left on the ground, it curls up, so it does make it a little harder to cut. We found it looks like a whole family of snakes!
Producer: Le Noyau seeds
