Really tricky. White bladder fruit is also known as false choko, also from the new world, also a vine, not edible, so ??? Can you research a bit more and let us know. We don't have time here on the road.
1 year agoI love castles. I take every chance I can to tell people about my four castle day - it was the highlight of the trip.
1 year agoVery funny, Kelly.
1 year agoI hate to go contrary to Bill, he's an encyclopedia on so many things. It looks like a chayote to me. But, it's a gourd, so if you saw a tree, obviously not a chayote.
1 year agoAh, a castle! Now we know you are in Spain.

Just found a site that points out that chayote is plump at the bottom, while bladder fruit is plump at the top. This one, and the many others we saw, seems to be plump at the top (the point where it attaches to the stem).
