My bushel gourd. The plant looks healthy but don't let it fool you. It had a disease issue that tracked from the stump out the main and leaves wilted then died and no fruit would set. I grew it like a pumpkin, burying and training vines and pruning all tertiaries. I gave up on it and the tertiaries and whatever comes after tertiary have exploded, making the plant look healthy. Bottom line, if you want your bushel gourd to set fruit, turn you back on it. I can't cut them off fast enough now.
