Description
Family: Cucurbitaceae
Genus: Cedrostis
Species: Leloja
Native to Africa. Long vines grow from the caudex and can reach several feet in a season. The funny caudex looks much like an elephant’s foot. A vine grows very fast, so it needs support. It can be stored as an annual plant in the garden or as a perennial, houseplant in a pot – thanks to the caudex that forms very quickly, in 8 months with a diameter of 10 cm. It looks very decorative. The fruit is used while it is young – like green peppers. Processed, cooked or fried.
