Gac fruit is a vine that can grow up to 20 feet long, producing bright orange-red fruits rich in antioxidants and often used in Asian cuisines and traditional medicine for their health benefits. It thrives in warm, tropical climates with full sun and well-drained soil, making it a valuable addition to food forests for its nutritional fruit and ability to provide ground cover and support biodiversity. Gac fruit vines are typically propagated by seeds, requiring regular watering and support structures for optimal growth, with fruiting occurring in the late summer to early fall.
