That's interesting, Dr. Swamy I share your views and appreciate the reference link
but i also wonder.... how does one compare the fruit and flower sizes in one tree specimen ? would we need a set of samples? like the toptropical nursery owners do, they have lots of trees growing in their nursery ... this is always a conundrum when we see one tree. Also the mayan civilization, that used these trees for domestic use.. have both wild and domesticated populations and in that there is marked difference in genetic variation with end result in the habit, ;leaves and fruits being of different sizes and characteristics etc 1: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/225691620_Diversity_of_the_calabash_ tree_%28Crescentia_cujete_L.%29_in_Colombia two full text papers from PUBMED from NIH USA 2: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3359923/ 3: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3842825/ so how do we know if we are seeing offspring of a wild vareity or offspring of the domesticated variety maybe Gurcharanji can give us an opinion? please Tapasda? thanks usha di On Sun, Nov 15, 2015 at 5:39 PM, J.M.
