Dont forget to save seeds on this one and replant some (or share) to see if it is an heritable mutation, maybe here you have another kind of trip-l-crop or italian tree ?

Holy Tomato! Looks like about 25 feet of concrete reinforcement rings added in segments. And he is standing on top with no support! Not too bright! LOLOL

I read about that guy years ago. Part of his secret was his compost made from kudzu. There were other things he did but the escape me atm.

Really!! He probably has two rabbits tied to the stalk at the bottom. They just go round and round, poo after poo, night and day!

I would build a tripod with some 16' lengths of 2x2 or 2x4 , notch the outside of the boards every 8" or so vertically and wrap with a nylon rope at each level. Anchor the base into concrete because it will catch wind. ( just drive some nails into the boards and sink them into the concrete in a small posthole ) at this point you could also just buy a used swingset.
