Hello! I’m growing Long Handle Dipper Gourds from a 4’ long one. I’m wanting to enter them, but not sure if they are considered a hard shell gourd or ornamental. Anyone know???

The seeds and plants appear similar. So they might be closely related. I have a couple going but wouldnt have occured to me to enter them as either a long gourd or bushel gourd.

Same species. Different cultivars. All will intercross.
