I never have, it grows in the fence rows and raccoons get ‘em first. But I’m going to grow some vines on purpose, just got to figure out where. Maybe I’ll be able to harvest some of the Maypop fruit. The vine I have is growing in a tangled mess on a fence.Wild? I have to baby a potted one so. Do you eat the fruit?
