I have just found this choko vine growing up the back of my shed t much amazement as nothing was planted there the summer weather has gone and there are a few of them on there a decent looking size how do i take them off just pluck like a lemon and should i cut it back now or let it run wild as i quite like the vines very intersting and it seems t have a mind of its own...
