Bird Feeders and Nest Boxes      The Calabash is the very hard pod which hangs from these magnificent trees found in the West Indies and Africa. The tree may reach 40 feet high and has an outspread, arching canopy which makes for a lovely canopy. It flowers for most of the year. After pollination the spectacular calabash fruits begin to develop along the trunk and limbs. A crop of 100 or more of these large, green, gourd-like spheres may adorn the tree for up to seven months, before turning yellow-green and eventually falling to the ground. The fruit is round or oval and green until it has been dried. The shell is thin but very hard. These calabash pods can be used as bird feeders or nest boxes and their round shape makes them difficult for preditors to cling to.        Please note that because these are natural seed pods, no two are alike.    Cost -     Large £4.95 Medium £3.95 Small £2.95 .    Click here for a UK order form
