I have tried to grow the kiwano without success.

They need a lot of heat. David who is in the video has fabulous success in his polytunnel, but in my little 6ft by 6ft greenhouse at home I only got 2 fruit. I think sometimes it's just the weather, in a warmer year you might have done better.

Kiwano looks lovely 😋 will have to give that a go.

It's one of those amazing fruit that you won't get to try unless you (a) go to Africa or (b) grow it yourself 😂
