Zone 10a and 9b, Tempe AZ. 5 gallon container. Ambrosia cantaloupe. My question is, are there 7 plants in this container or do cantaloupe grow multiple shoots from one seed? I'm new to gardening and can't find any info on how the plant grows, it's growth pattern. If it is multiple plants, should I remove all but one? Would this container be enough to support them all? I plan on growing it vertically, on a stake, but I'm not sure if this is one plant or multiple.
