Sponge Gourd – Thai Extra Long

150.00

This variety is a show-stopper, capable of producing monstrous, straight fruits that can stretch an incredible 4 feet (over 1.2 meters) long.

It’s a fast, aggressive grower that can easily climb over 15 feet on a sturdy support

When harvested young at about 12-18 inches long, the fruit is a tender, edible treat.

If left on the vine to fully mature, the inner flesh transforms into a dense network of fibrous cellulos and you’ll be rewarded with a dense, high-quality fibrous sponge.

Pack contains 5 future garden giants.
