About 4 months ago I watched a video on YouTube about the Monstera Deliciosa fruit. Apparently it tasted amazing - a mix between a pineapple and a mango. Pretty rare to find them and very hard to grow commercially has kept them off supermarket shelves and restaurants. 

So of course I had to have one and within a week I’d found one in a park in Melbourne. A large and mature plant with this fruit pod in the first photo. 

I read that it’s poisonous to eat when unripened. So I had to leave it in the sun for a couple weeks before it began to open and ripen. The smell was amazing and a dead give away. Pretty confident that I wasn’t going to poison myself, I had a bite. Amazing! 🤩 they we’re right! A mix of pineapple, mango and even banana.

As I was eating it I noticed what felt like an unpopped corn kernel. Spat it out and it was actually a seed (second photo). So I planted the seed and it’s gone from strength to strength including it’s 3rd leaf over the last week!

I’m hoping the warm weather in spring keeps him growing and one day grows it’s own fruit to complete the cycle of life.
