Tim, if it is Araujia serifera the pod looks like a very large(four to
six inches long) almond fruit and is filled with a silky mass of fibres,
as well as hundreds of small black seeds. A neighbour gave me a fruit
this time last year and the seeds germinated two weeks after sowing in
April.
I have just been out in the garden to see how those I planted out are
doing. So far they have not been harmed by the abominable weather we are
having; two weeks with frost every night( minimum -6 degrees
centigrade). I should say that I live near Narbonne in Southern France,
about 15 miles from the sea.
