From Known You Seed, which provides this infromation: "This angled hybrid sponge gourd sets fruit early It can be harvested about 45 days after sowing. Fruit is slender, straight, with green skin, about 54 by 4.5 cm, and around 450 g in weight. Flesh is tasty, and does not change color after cooking. Resistant to ZYMV."
