I just had John remove a pile of plants of the Monstera deliciosa. The pile was huge and you can't
give them away here.John was going to put them through his shreader .I've eaten heaps of them ,I
like them but not everyone does.
Gail your's is a lovely specimen.
I have more plants in other areas of the garden.
Here is pic I had on a post in 08
This fruit is 6 mths old another 6 mths to ripe

Gwen, they do like the growing conditions up your way and I can see they would get huge. Ours will grow a little slower here being drier and the cold winters will slow it down too.
Nice one Cheryl not too sure about the way you're holding that flower bud
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

Cheryl that flower bud is a very odd shape for a Monstera deliciousa .
all the ones I've grown and long straight and slender yours look
short fat and very curved .????????????????????????????????????????
