GOURD, Speckled Swan – (120 days) 

Largenaria siceraria  

This is a rewarding, large unique gourd to grow that will inspire countless art projects! Speckled Swan grows an 6-12” diameter fruit with a curved “neck” that generally arches back over itself, thus resembling a sleeping swan. Fruit is hard shelled upon maturity with white speckles over a dark green skin. Must cure fully in order to use, then work like any soft wood. Requires a long season, or start indoors to get a jump start.
