The chayote (Sechium edule) is an edible plant, which belongs to the gourd family Cucurbitaceae along with melons, cucumbers and squash.
The plant has large leaves that form a canopy over the fruit. The vine is grown on the ground or more commonly on trellises.
Chayote (pronounced [tʃa'jɔte], roughly "chy-O-tay"), is the Spanish name of the plant, from Nahuatl hitzayotli. It is used in many parts of Spanish-speaking Latin America and in the US. It is known all over the world by many other names:
# Australia: choko
# Brazil: chuchu
# Caribbean: christoferine, christophene, cho-cho
# English-speaking countries: chouchou
# English-speaking countries: chocho, cho-cho
# English-speaking countries: mango squash
# English-speaking countries: vegetable pear
# French Antilles: christophene, christophine
# Guatemala-El Salvador: guiscil, güisquil, guiskil
# Honduras: pataste
# Indonesia: labu siam (lit. Siamese pumpkin), jipang (Djogja and Center Java) or waluh
# Italy: zucca centenaria
# Latin America: tayote or tayota [ta'jɔta]
# Latin America: chocho
# Latin America: gayota
# Philippines: sayote
# Portugal: pipinella
# Réunion Island: chouchou
# Russian: cajot

Sayote is very common in Philippines. It is so common that it is sometimes associated as poor peoples food. It is because when you can't afford to buy vegetables from the market, you can always go in the backyard (or your neighbors' :-D) and pick all you want. The tender tops of the plant is also edible, used in salads and various soups.

sayote island? I don't know but the sayote or chayote in English cannot be grown in hot areas. Therefore, sayotes in an island is not really possible. However, there is a place in the philippines where lots of sayotes are grown - Baguio and La Trinidad, Benguet.. The chayote is actually another trademark of Baguio.

I don't know. I'm not sure if all 7,107 islands of the Philippines have names. Maybe one of them is Sayote Island. LOL.

As far as I know, there is no island called Sayote in the Philippine archipelago. Do you have the correct spelling?
