FB-Narmada F1 is a prolific snake gourd hybrid. Vines are tall growing and need trellis support, and they set straight, tender, silver green fruit up to 5-6 feet long with the uniform shape the fresh market pays for. Bearing is heavy and continuous, and the crop can be taken all round the year where the climate allows.
