Hi...I'm also growing two green striped cushaws from seed cataloge sources. One plants tossing out white fruit with very faint stripes, the other green striped cushaws with good green stripe colors. The whiter ones are about 45 inches from stem to blossom around the outside curve....the greener ones are only 25 inches. How big do these bad boys actually get and is this variety the largest c. mixta(angiosperma) variety? Is there a heavier/larger cushaw type out there?....thanks....S
