Likewise, people ask, how do Chokos grow in Brisbane?

Acquire a choko, shove it down the back of the vegie cupboard till it sprouts, then plant it in a sunny spot with the sprouting bit out of the soil. I just dig a little depression and partly cover the sprouting fruit. Make sure there is somewhere for the vine to climb - along a fence, up a tree or along the bushes.

One may also ask, how do you know when Chokos are ripe? Light green is preferred. While chokos can range from a darker green to white, you want to be sure to select one that is not multi-colored. The multi-coloring is a sign of aging, and a white typically means it's overly ripe.

People also ask, is Choko a fruit or vegetable?

A choko is also known as chayote, vegetable pear or mango squash. They grow on a climbing plant and look a bit like a pear. Some varieties have spines, while others are spineless.

How long does it take to grow chayote?

Plant the whole fruit 3 to 4 weeks after the last average frost date in spring when the weather has warmed. Chayote grows best where summer temperatures are very warm to hot, in tropical or subtropical regions. Chayote requires 120 to 150 frost-free days to reach harvest. Description.
