Bushel Gourds grow giant and round like basketballs! These deep green, mottled, kettle-shaped gourds are as big as a “bushel”, growing anywhere from 25-100 pounds, or up to 20-inches in diameter! They have been used throughout history as beautiful baskets, storage containers, kitchen tools, bowls and cooking vessels, musical instruments, vases, and a wide variety of crafts. These ancient African gourds are a subspecies of the Bottle Gourd, Lagenaria siceria, and are considered one of the earliest domesticated plants, dating back as early as 13,000 BC! Once cured, they become hard-shelled and tan, and can be used to make unique crafts, like bowls, flower pots, lanterns, birdhouses, and any creation to your imagination!
