What a fantastic little apple shaped gourd! Gourds have dark green skins when fresh and dry to become a warm brown color. Apple Gourds are primarily used for decoration. These gourds are great for decoration, crafting, and making birdhouses. Their shape is perfect for a wide variety of crafts.

Apple Gourds are easy to grow, and are the perfect size for a variety of crafts. Gourds need to have plenty of space, and they also grow more successfully with some support. This is due to the fact their vines and fruit need proper ventilation.
