Pumpkins Growing On Trees?
+6
We saw these Pumpkin Tree Bunches at our local Trader Joe's this morning. We've never seen anything like this? Have you? We'd love to see these incorporated into a fall centerpiece!

That's so cool! Never seen anything like that. I challenge some of the talented decorators on Hometalk to make a centerpiece out of this! @Shelley @ Sow and Dipity, @Jennifer Decorates @Creatively Living what say you? :)

It's a Turkish orange or Hmong Eggplant - among many other names. You can eat it.

Those are beautiful! If I could find some, that would be awesome! I can see them looking beautiful in a clear container too. Maybe mixed with some rafia and larger gourds/pumpkins for a tablescape?

Oh! I've seen them in markets sold in the produce aisle but never clustered on the branch....love this! Ok, I would make a door teardrop swag with them. I'd pair these up with some evergreen branch trimmings, a handful of wheat or dried Astilbe flowers (like the ones in my galvanized watering can pic below ) and add some large pine cones ( for that earthy deep brown color ). Finish off the top with a raffia bow and on the door it would go :)

I started some seeds indoors and they finally produced the little pumpkins, but we had such a rainy and cool summer to start, that the plants had a hard time growing...Being in the Eggplant, (Pepper-Tomato) Family, they needed lots more heat that our season in NE Wis could provide...so I'm hoping they will continue to ripen in my little shed....Most are still green now.
