    Hot and dry summer climate here. Mine didn't get as large as others. It is very tasty with a good amount of flesh compared to the seed cavity. It is not prolific at all for me - just a fruit or two per vine. I have others that handle my growing conditions better, but I occasionally grow it as it is lovely. I haven't tried to store it.
