The buffalo gourds in this listing were wild harvested from a location in Central Texas. These are the product of the Cucurbita foetidissima plant and are also know as coyote gourd, prairie gourd, wild pumpkin and chilicote. For centuries, Native American cultures have used the plants as well as the gourds for food, medicine and decoration.
The gourds in this listing have been scrubbed and thoroughly dried. As these have not been treated in any other way, they are perfect for crafting or for those wishing to grow the plants using the seeds contained within the gourds.
These have been sorted into two groups having slightly different sizes.
The smaller gourds are between 2-1/4 and 3 inches in length and measure 2 to 2-1/2 inches in diameter at their widest points.
Larger gourds have lengths of 3 to 3-1/2 inches and largest diameters between 2-1/4 and 2-5/8 inches.
Five or ten gourds of the chosen size will be included with each order and the listing photos show a portion of the pieces that are available.
Shipping to any address within the United States, with the exception of those within California, is included in the listing prices. We cannot ship these gourds to destinations within the state of California or to those falling outside of the USA.
