Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chayote, a Tropical Vegetable
Shrubs or trees and all slower-growing herbs of tropical origin are permanently limited, of course, to winterless countries. To this last category belongs the chayote,1 for though the perennial root permits the plant to winter through wherever the ground is not frozen, only relatively small crops. Can be obtained where the growing season is limited by cold weather.
