seed pods of  Araujia sericofera

This climber has small,white,scented flowers that can trap a visiting moth overnight but then releases it next morning.This way,the flowers are pollinated.The large seed pods are filled with thousands of silken threads to which the seeds are attached.

I see you need a strong trellis for it to climb on are the pods quite heavy?
