I've planted a choko and it was doing well and had plenty of new chokos but now they have all dropped off and the leaves are going yellow and then dying. What can I do for it so I can get a crop.

I had my first season last year the vine is still there but now I see new growth coming. Is it safe to cut back the old vine to make way for the new ones coming. I don't want to lose my vine at all. Thank you

Does the sprouting chayote need to be containerized 1ST or can it go directly into the Soil?

Plant the whole fruit in a place where a massive amount of leafy vines can trellis up and over (we plant this in May here)... even a bottomless 18" deep drum full of compost/well drained rich soil will work quite well but definitely plant it once and let it go. It harvests here quite heavily right at fall and puts on massive leafy vines with MANY fruit from only one single squash planted. It is quite nice to have for a summer tasting versatile squash that is a heavy producer in the fall after zucchini and yellow crookneck are long gone from squash bug damage.

When planting choko in the pot do I need to plant two together or one is enough?

Mycokos are almost bullet proof, I have planted them at odd times of year and they dont mind. Just put them in in a shallow hole and jump back!

I am planting now and wondering if they like wet soil as I had a passionfruit in the same spot and didn't do that well due to wet feet

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...
