Fig-leaf pumpkin "Fikolista SM CF106" (Fig-leaf gourd, Shark Fin Melon, Perennial Pumpkin, Chilacayote)
Cucurbita ficifolia C. Bouche
Malabar gourd "Fikolista" (fig-leaved pumpkin) - Cucurbita ficifolia.
Its rich root system, resistant to soil pathogens, provides vigorous growth of the grafted plant and high fertility, so the plant is used as a base plant for grafting watermelons, melons and cucumbers.
Malabar gourd - an ancient, alpine, perennial plant (in our northern climate it is grown as an annual), comes from South and Central America.
It does not cross with other gourds.
Its leaves are shaped like fig leaves and often have light spots on a leaf blade of greenish-bluish and are very decorative.
Cucurbita ficifolia grows very quickly - in warm weather, the growth of the stem is 15 cm or more per day. She can decorate fences, arbours, sheds, dry trees, etc., while receiving a fairly significant harvest. From one plant, you can collect over 100 kg of fruits that taste like unsweetened melon.
The flesh of the fig-leaved pumpkin is very juicy and suitable for great salads that can decorate any holiday table, you can cook soups from it, and the stewed Malabar gourd is generally delicious!
Fritters are tender and tasty, and jam is very similar in taste to real pineapples.
