fruit of thai constellation monstera deliciosa

 pollinated with pollen from albo mostera...

only eat the portion under the green scales that easily fall off.  otherwise it's very painful to eat, like eating fiberglass.  

very delicious, like banana and pineapple, and seemed more delicious than the 2nd fruit, which i didn't pollinate and was seedless.  

how the seedlings turned out.
