White / Cream Chayote Seeds - Vegetable Plant

White or cream chayote is a warm-season climbing plant that produces pale-colored fruits on vigorous, trailing vines. It grows well in tropical and subtropical climates where temperatures remain consistently warm and frost-free. The plant develops long vines that require support such as trellises or fences for proper growth and spacing.
