This is my bushel gourd, it's grown off of one of my seeds. It is grafted onto another bushel gourd as a rootstock. That doesn't seem to make any sense. They have done some research with melons and found that melons grafted to other melons, outperform melons on their own roots. Maybe the same will be true with bushel gourds. So far there are no set bushel gourds, but the plant is huge and I hope to be able to stay on top of the culls. Normally I just let my plants load up with gourds. They seem to top out at about 175-200 pounds with that technique.
