Gourds
Birdhouse
Prized for their durable, hard shells, these gourds are ideal for crafting birdhouses and other utilitarian objects.
About Birdhouse
This gourd variety yields long fruits that taper toward the stem, developing a smooth, hard, tan shell upon maturity. Reaching full size in 80 to 140 days, these gourds grow on robust vines. Once properly cured, the durable hard shells can last for decades, making them excellent for crafting birdhouses, bottles, and other utilitarian or decorative items that can be painted, carved, or drilled.
