I can remember this discussion a while back, Brad you were right. Any idea what type of gourd it could be? I have a Kedrostis africans that has a root like that. Not that big yet, but it grows every year. Could also be C. foetidissima perhaps.

This is a quote from the story where it was going for DNA testing. I would like too know who all those experts were because it looks very bad for them.


"They've asked for a sample to do a DNA analysis of him. It needs to be sent to Scotland to have it done, even though we've had experts and agronomists and field scientists look at him and verify him, they still need this special treatment that can only be done in Scotland," he said.

Just another one of those backyard one man shows with so called experts. Glad someone questioned it.
