How to Grow Calabash Long Squash
-
Calabash Long Squash
Long squash is a dicotyledon species and a member of the cucumber family. It is also known as birdhouse gourd, bottle gourd, calabash gourd, hard-shelled gourd, dolphin gourd, long melon, opo squash, trumpet gourd, and white-flower gourd (Lim 2012). Long squash is indigenous to Africa, but it reached Asia thousands of years ago, possibly by floating across the sea.
This long bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is an annual, vigorous, climbing vine with large leaves and white flowers. They are very hardy vines. It had been cultivated in Asia, Europe and the Americas for thousands of years.
Since these vines are known to grow more than 15' high, it is advised to build a strong trellis for support. This is just one way, there are other ways to support the vines.
