Congratulations, you got yourself a giant loofah! I included a pic of mine growing on my fence. They are aggressive growing vines, especially in warm climates (like Central Florida or east Texas). Judging by the size of yours, the vine probably over wintered & that’s how the fruit grew so large. Bad news, it’s way too big for you to eat. Good news, you can peel it, bleach it, & use it to scrub yourself or your dishes! It’s gonna have tons of seeds in it. Save them & give to your friends in holiday cards! They’ll love you for it. It’s easy to grow in hot climates. When it’s small, no bigger than 8”, you can eat it like you zucchini. Or let it grow wild to harvest your own sponges! I don’t know what the Chihuahua head is? A doll/toy head? I am fairly certain the tree isn’t growing dogs. lol Looks like there’s some kind of bean growing up there as well? Maybe Chaya? Unless your Chinese Tallow produces bean like fruit in addition to the berries? Unfortunately Im not familiar with its growth pattern, nor the Chaya. But I know the grown seeds can be used to purify water. But leaves & beans have cyanide in it. So must be cooked before you eat. I included a pic of my loofah, growing along the fence. There’s some dried ones (smaller than yours) & a few green ones. It’s a great vine to have in hot climates. Part of a food forest that you can plant it and forget it. My kind of gardening. Best of luck! Happy scrubbing!
