Description
The long neck of the fruit curves elegantly downward and gracefully enlarges at the end resembling a swan's head. The rounded base (or body) of the fruit usually measures around 8" (20 cm) in diameter and has a near flat bottom (conveniently!). Deep green in colour the fruits are speckled with creamy markings.
Harvested and left to dry these makelovely ornaments as they are, but painted up with an orange beak or similar they look just great.
Children love these, and the craft activities they can be used for.
Please note the fruits of these are not edible - so grow them for ornamental purposes only!
