What could be this plant
Hello all,
Yesterday I came back from Barcelona and there I saw one strange plant whit weird fruits (or not fruits?). So because I'm very curious will appreciate if someone can enlighten me what this plant is.
Thank you in advance!




All around that plant is a bamboo I supose or sugar cane.

Looks like a papaya.
They can grow like weeds.
What is a weed anyway?
Yes, it looks little like a papaya but it's smaller than it I think. For now I don't want to cut it, maybe after a time I will, but not now...If anyone has another ideas please be so kind to share them, thank you!
paw paw maybe?

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Chayote or cho cho possibly?
(New here so not sure how to do links yet- sorry)
Chayote is a very rampant climber. Anyway, the plant doesn´t look much like
papaya either (this has broader leaves).
No, it's not a papaya or chayote or pow pow... Look at the leaves, they are small and this is rather a bush or something - I don't know but this really makes me crazy
That I can't find any information on internet. Because I tryed to search google but nothing!
My first thought was young cocoa pod too Jo, but I'm not sure they would grow in Barcelona. If it is a cacao tree, the pods form directly from the trunk but I can't tell from the photo.
I am sorry, I don't have other pic's...But I just remembered - when I cut off this thing ran something like milk, just like a fig. If this can help somehow...
Yes, this is what I was looking for! Finally, thank you!
Of course I don't intend to eat it
Thanks everybody!
That is very interesting, I've seen the plant and flower before but never the fruit, thanks all
