In a method for growing squash, cucumbers and other fruits in desired shapes. The fruit, while growing on the plant, is enclosed within the internal cavity of an oversized mould having a cavity (inside) surface configured to form the desired details on the fruit. As growth continues the fruit fills the cavity and in doing so conforms with remarkable fidelity to the internal details of the mould. The mould is opened or removed when the fruit has filled the cavity, and the fruit is removed from the plant. The fruit can be eaten or, if dried, can provide a long-lasting sculptural item. Moulds for growing fruit in desired shape are described and claimed. <IMAGE> |
