  • Kiwano (wild cucumber or wild gherkin) «Wild Thorn» / Cucumis africanus

    Is an exotic member of the Cucurbitaceae family, native to South Africa. It is a decorative vine with long stems that can trail along the ground or climb supports, creating an unusual green accent in the garden.  

    The plant has large, lobed leaves covered with soft hairs. Its yellow flowers, with a slight greenish tint, appear throughout the season and add extra ornamental value.  

    The fruits are especially eye-catching—small, oval, striped, and covered with spiny thorns. Young fruits are edible and taste similar to cucumbers, but as they ripen they become bitter, so they are most often used decoratively or for pickling.  

    Gardeners value this plant for its hardiness and unusual appearance. It is suitable for cultivation in open ground, on trellises, fences, and decorative structures, creating the effect of a living hedge. This species makes a striking addition to collections of exotic plants and attracts attention with the original shape of its fruits.
