Grow tiny pumpkins trees for fall

When planning your autumn garden, one awesome plant to get started now is the Pumpkin On A Stick, also known as the Pumpkin Tree or Hmong Eggplant (among other names). Not a true pumpkin, but still so adorable for fall decor and vases.

Pumpkin on a stick grows fast but has thorns to watch out for. The leaves are huge compared to the tiny fruits and plants can be started from seed or cuttings. Normally early summer is a good time to start this plant, but if you’ve got a lot of sun you can still plant some now and you will likely get some pretty red orange fruits in time for fall. Just be sure to stalk and also protect from chills and frost.

This plant is not only totally cute for fall arrangements but it’s edible too (chop and toss into stir fry). If you do use it in decor you can use fresh stalks or allow fruit to dry on the stem (remove leaves) and use as a dry plant accessory.
