Thanks everybody for the suggestions... I guess we'll have to wait for the flowers to know for sure. At least, I know now that my original idea was not widely wrong and can tell my friend he should definitely not hope for some sort of pumpkins! Philippe Hello again, From another gardening group. Solanum quitoense or Naranjilla. Apparently edible fruit (Don't if I would dare, given the Datura resemblance). here is a pictu pretty convincing match (especially the thorns on the leaves): http://tomclothier.hort.net/album/photo/quitoens.jpg http://vtgcrec.ifas.ufl.edu/pages/Se...03-plant2a.JPG Philippe |

But it does sound the most likely option - please post again and confirm the diagnosis once they've flowered! Yes, I thought so too, but maybe that's because they are still very young. Now the next problem is: where are we going to keep these 8 feet high spiny things!!! I'll keep you posted philippe |
