Around here in So. Cal. USA there easily found in supermarkets under
the name chayote squash; probably due to our large Hispanic population.
The wife and I both like them, they're a great addition to my matso
ball soup. I imagine they'd be carried in stores catering to latin
american patrons in other parts of the country. I've never seen the
seeds for sale though; I would love trying to grow them.

G'day G'day Bill,

Thanks. There is a good reason why you won't see seed. The seed
quickly becomes non viable so the usual technique locally is to plant
the whole chayote squash with the narrow end up.

Best wishes,
