WANTED: Calabash tree/seeds

17 years ago

I would like to try growing a calabash tree. They have a "fruit" ranging from baseball to basketball size - usually round but sometimes rather oblong. When dried, they resemble and are used exactly like a hard shell gourd.

If I could find a seedling or even seeds, I would be happy to swap what I have -- see below:

Amaryllis - assorted colors

Freesia - mixed colors

Bromiliad pups (2)- salvaged the mom from the curb so I don't know the color or shape of their bloom

Bleeding Heart vine (pretty but can be invasive)

Aloe and varigated spider plants.

Welcome to Garden Web! I thought you might like to know that there is no way to email you they way your preferences are set. I suggest you go to the bottom of any page here and click on 'Member Pages'. then Edit Preferences. Then using the drop down box, set it to show your email addy to Members only. then check the box to allow others to email you via the forms here at GW. That will place a link on your member page so folks can reach you. You might also want to (while you are there) fill in your state abbreviation...it goes behind the zone in the same box. That will be helpful if/when you want to start trading plants. Sue
