In northern Oman, the dark red fleshy fruits are edible. The foliage known grazed by livestock if possible. (Ref. Oman Botanic Garen). In Omani studies: Miller & Morris (1988) wrote that: "C. pendulus, called locally [J: isten, yisten], is by many regarded as being an unlucky and slightly sinister plant, beloved of the jinn, but children find that its hanging white stems make as excellent a swing [J: metbohot] as do the 'rops' that hang down from the Ficus vasta, and spend many a happy moment swinging up and down on them in the pleasant shade of whichever tree the vine has chosen as its host". (Ref. Plants of Dhofar).
