Monstera Deliciosa
In the subtropics this plant fruits abundantly, and the fruit is delicious. As it ripens about an inch a day, it is eaten at the same rate.
Very healthy specimens, growing wild in an abandoned property in Merritt Island, Florida 32953 (Zone 10a).Photo taken in August.

This one is crawling up a very tall slash pine tree in my front yard. That white goop on the leaves is pine sap. Vanice, Florida, October 2003

Monstera deliciosa
I just got back from a garden tour in Victoria, Tx and I was able to see a Split-leaf Philodendron getting ready to bloom.
After years and years of never flowering, it has finally flowered and I'll have fruit soon
Here is the best fruit one can taste, It takes way over 1 year to mature, but it's worth the wait. sure is deliciosa as the name sais, the taste is a mixture of banana and pineapple.
