Photo Contest Winner: 2014 Avid Green Pages Reviewer Garden Ideas: Master Level Garden Sages I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! I helped plan and beta test the plant database.
At first all I could find was "Global Agenda Council", but Googling "gac south-east Asia" got me the Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Momordica cochinchinensis

I hope you get some mature fruit and save seeds! It sounds like a lot of organizations want to expand gacfruit production so extracts can be made and sold from the fruit.

I added some synonyms to the ATP Plant Database:
Gac
Red Melon
spiny bitter gourd
cochinchin gourd
baby jackfruit
gacfruit

It sounds like it can also be propagated from cuttings and "root tubers". Someone wrote that cuttings can be rooted more reliably than seeds can be germinated.
