    I've been tempted to try them on a couple of occasions, but not done it for one reason or another.

    Sounds a bit like a greenhouse plant over here Sal.

    I`m suspecting the same , it seams pretty new to cultivation over here for a review , unless we are getting that hot summer we have been waiting for the last 5 years !!! One of my indian neighbour grow some edible indian Gourd and he start them indoor in February and only plants them outdoor in june and by September they even reach my garden (10 mt away), plus the Sicana odorifera should have a foot wide leaves , will deftnely help the tropical look.
