Mirlitons (chayote) have a soft seed inside the fruit which germinates about thirty days after harvesting. This viviparous quality means that the the whole fruit must be planted since the seed draws on the fruit for nutrients. Here we see an imported variety that sprouted and is the right length to plant. Roots will emerge from the tip of the emerging seed and at the nodules on the stem in the soil.

Chayote Recipes – Mirliton Recipes
Does your town have an annual festival dedicated to its favorite squash? Mine does. It’s the Bywater Mirliton Festival, an autumn event held in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans with music, food, and — of course — mirlitons, the green, bumpy, pear-shaped squash that grows on vines around the city. You might know the mirliton by another name (hint: the plant is native to Mexico), but nowhere else is the squash cooked and eaten quite the same way as it is in New Orleans.
