Gourd - Lai Jud F1 seeds
Benincasa hispida
Pack: 7 seeds, 5g
This hybrid gourd matures quickly, producing medium-length vines with cylindrical fruit that boast mottled green skin and measure up to 10 x 22cm in size. The juicy flesh within is both thick and tender, making it a highly sought-after variety! A waxy layer forms over the ripe melon, offering protection so it can be stored for up to one year when kept under ideal conditions. As a bonus, every part of this self-fertile plant - its fruits, leaves, seeds, and flowers - is safe to consume.
This plant is referred to by numerous names, such as alu-puhul, beligo, bi bee, bi chanh. bleego, bleegoo or bligo; Chinese wax gourd and dong gua; fak khiao and fak kib; ho bak and kamo uri; koondoor or kundol in addition to the petha moniker. It's also known as pethaladdu or phat for shortness' sake; tallow gourd and tangkue are two other common references too! Togan/ tung Kwa may be used interchangeably, while this plant has earned a reputation of being called white gourd -or winter melon- when it comes time for its fruiting period.
