A delicious "survival food". Only a bit at a time is ready.
I have recently observed two locations where a number of seedlings were found under the Monstera plant. About 6-8 small plants were found in each case. It appears that this fruit self sows fairly easily, but may take some time to do so.
Monstera grows feral everywhere in my area. You can't drive a block without seeing one and my neighbor has a huge patch of them that has spread and multiplied with utter neglect to cover and area of at least 30 square feet. I'm thinking of going digfging some up to plant out in a problem area as an ornamental They're as tough as nails and provide a good habitat for green tree frogs here in Australia. Great for cooling off a hot area.I'm not a huge fan of the fruit owing to the little spiky black hair things.
