I was thinking about starting some and putting them to grow on our fence. How heavy do the vines get? Would they be too heavy for field fence?

Wow. I was confused and thinking about PAYOTE when I read this. Chayote sounds much...um...safer.

I love chayote. Use it all the time in chicken stew and as a potato replacement.
