Description

Calabash Gourd
120 days — This native to Africa is also know as 'Pipe Gourd' because of its historical use. The fruits are twelve to fifteen inches in length, tan in color, smooth, and the neck is curved at the stem end. Along with being used to make make pipes, they were also used as powder horns.

If you trellis or otherwise grow the plants vertically, gravity will cause them to develop straight fruits. If you are desiring your fruits to develop that classic, "Sherlock Holmes," curved pipe shape, let them spread out and naturally sprawl on the ground. Each packet contains three grams, which is approximately 18 seeds.
