I could I f I could find one again.
The last time I saw one was in a creek in Austin.
we also have wild little vine that puts on wee lillte melons that grows around here.
I haven't seen one in a while.
It needs a mother plant like a tree to grow on.
The name of it escapes me but the fruit is striped and orange to red when mature.
I have no idea if it is edible but probably is.
Balsam gourd Texas globe berry snake apple AKA Ibervillea Lindheimeri.
