Its vigorous vines can be grown on trellises, making it an excellent choice for vertical gardens.
- Exceptional Growth - Bottle Gourd, also known as Calabash or Birdhouse gourd, has a unique, fast-growing vine that reaches 10-20 feet long and produces high yields of smooth fruits. It is heat-tolerant, prolific, and suitable for both ground and trellis cultivation. We suggest providing support for more uniformly shaped gourds that are protected from rot
- Versatile Use - Bottle Gourds are widely used in a variety of cuisines, particularly in Indian and Chinese dishes. When dried, they can be used for crafts, especially in making drinking vessels or birdhouses for the purple martin and other cavity nesting birds.
