Photo of Ecballium elaterium (squirting cucumber)
Ecballium elaterium - squirting cucumber. It is a frost-tender, weak-stemmed, herbaceous perennial vine of the gourd family that typically grows to 12-18” tall, but clambers and trails along the ground, often in an aggressive sprawling fashion, to 36” wide. This vine is most noted for its prickly, oblong, unusual and distinctive, blue-green fruit pods which mature in fall in a form somewhat resembling a small 3-inch cucumber. Each fruit pod contains many black seeds. Family: Cucurbitaceae
