Cassabanana is a vigorous tropical vine grown for its large, fragrant, melon-like fruits that can be used fresh when ripe or cooked when immature. The fruit has a sweet, aromatic flavor and is often used in drinks, desserts, and preserves in tropical cuisines. In food forest systems, it is a productive climbing vine that benefits from strong support structures and warm, long growing seasons.
