Well I have been watching my tiny fruit finally start to grow. I have 2 now that are about half grown, I fear that we will have a freeze in the next week or two before they are ready. I did get a pic today of one that is hanging below a frond on a Windmill palm. Ithe vine is laying on top of the palm frond. It is about 3" long.
I decided to cut back seveal long stalks and many of the tiny buds to give these few more strength. There were many just pea size, but I knew they did not have time to mature. I think next year, I will just start mine in January inside rather than March.
