Dinosaur gourd seeds (treated)
The Dinosaur gourd (Lagenaria Siceraria) was introduced by the Cherokee Indians. This gourd has also been called the caveman's club or the Maranka. The name, of course, comes from the thin skin that dries on the outside since it resembles dinosaur skin. These can be used for arts and projects as well!
These gourds range in size from 18 - 24 inches long gourds. These grow well up a trellis!
