@SidneyBou ...I didn't look for male / female, these produced lots of Mirlitons. More than I could use.......Donald

You don't call them Vegatable Pears? I got one started last year but it died I think I am nurseing the vine it left under the hay. Did you get a mail and femail, My wife tells me that is not true. Does she know.

In Mexico, these are called chayotes. I never liked them. Then, last year i saw a recipe for chayote soup, and it was delicious! Blended up the boiled chayotes, onions, cilantro and a can of chopped chiles. A great cream soup. Top with sour cream, plain yogurt or crema if you like, and a few cilantro sprigs. Roasted pepitos would be good on top, too.

I'm planting one in New Orleans about a mile from the French Quarter. Everyone seems to be an expert around here on Militons. Half say I must have a male and female. I don't remember my dad talking about that. He grew tons. Arlie

@JuneGemini000 …It’s my understanding that in the winter the plant should be cut back and covered to protect it from the cold weather…..Donald

I should have also asked how they are doing now. I have one I started last year I believe I have the bottom of the vine with a leaf on it and am waiting for it to start the vine. My Grand Father raised them but I didn't pay any attention. We called them Mirliton or Vegatable pears. Unfortunatly no one taught me french Even if my parents and grandparents spoke french.
