It died back over the winter of 2007-2008, and had its first full season this year. It usually produced 1-3 flowers a day, so it can't have produced a fruit from every flower. I often picked one off to give to friends and family. I heartily agree with you about these flowers - they are amazing, gorgeous, and smell lovely. This vine had more water than it wanted due to my neighbor's watering on the other side of the fence. I am not sure if this is why it fruited so late in the year, or only produced 5 fruits. Maybe it will become even more robust with each season that it becomes more established. I plan to start the seeds in pots this coming spring - will see if I can grow them into enough vines to cover my fence. Can you imagine!? Hi Linda-

Do all the flowers produce fruit? It is one of my favorite flowers, truly a miracle. How old is your vine? Do all the flowers produce fruit?

My only suggestion is that you re-title it "Alien Autopsy." Very informative! My only suggestion is that you re-title it “Alien Autopsy.”
