The Common Calabash Tree (Crescentia cujete) has been cultivated widely throughout the New World tropics since prehistoric times; its exact native range is uncertain. It is a small tree with light green bell-shaped flowers (5 to 6.5 cm long) that are borne singly on stout stalks on the trunk and branches. The flowers are bat-pollinated and are produced irregularly throughout the year. The large fruit (technically a type of berry to botanists, specifically a “pepo”) has a thin hard shell and whitish pulp and does not split open. The many seeds are dark brown, thin, and flat.
