This vine has been growing all over a brush pile (which is great - the faster brush piles get covered in living plants, the faster they'll decompose in the moist conditions created underneath) and I recently noticed the fruit pictured below.
I had no idea what it was and had to ask nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqsplrzd6hx7vqctcrwudd46455399xg9emskfq8fmmfc0ft4umd3q9sf34g (nprofile…f34g) , who solved the mystery for me 😅
I do remember buying a sacha inchi seedling some time ago, and I guess I planted it at the base of this brush pile, in the shade. I'm very happy to see it take off (although I'm worried it'll vine up a nearby 'ohi'a tree...) and am looking forward to trying the nuts sometime in the future. I hope it makes more fruit.

Have you had sacha inchi before? How do you use it?
