You are the shiznit Nigel,to me atleast!!! I blame it on luck with this tovarii. I wanted to show how woody these things get,you really need to trellis them. The branches bark over and get brittle,even when they are relatively young. I have been mulling over the possibility of cutting it back for winter.
Do it, do it!!!

It is a freak when it comes to pod production,might be a good idea to even take cuttings. Not sure if I will ever get another one to fruit like this bitch. My only concern is it being so woody that new growth would be limited if I were to overwinter it??? I would say cut it back far up into the green but there isn't any green!

I get new growth out of the woody parts on all my wilds, hopefully this one would be the same. When you trim it just shove a bunch of cut pieces into the pot. If they root great, if not o well.
 
With cloning hormone or without Noah? Always wanted to try my hand at cloning but never had the patience to give it a go ahead...
 
I just tried that with 10 small pieces of C.eximium, using rooting hormone. All were dead within 2 weeks. 
 
Both,bush and vine. A Brazillian giant. It takes up way too much space,I am already limited. These should probably be called semi-domesticated,but to us in the USA they are wilds.This plant wasn't as pubescent as a Pollux or as tall as some others. 2 fruit per node and a lot of times 3 .Plant was only about 10 inches in July,and a bit off in color,then it went off.

2 and 3 fruit per node

Wider than tall. Only 4-5 feet tall.
