 88/ Sacha inchi nut and clove bean, Plukenetia volubilis Ipomoea muricata

I can’t judge these two bc they have been throughly brutalized this summer. Arborists took down a dying tree and pulled the wire cage they were trellising on and so ripped up the plants. Then they survived two tropical storms. At most, they are resilient but whether the season is long enough to ripen fruit is another question. Keep away from high winds and protect from freezing. Gets thrips indoors. Pest-free outdoors.
