Ornamental fruits

The ornamental fruits are largely related to the cucumber and produce long-lasting fruits. They are popular among florists, who use the fruits for flower arrangements and decoration. Ornamental fruit can be stored for months, if it is well ripened. In dried conditions the fruits have a very long shelf life. Fall and winter squashes can sometimes be stored for months. The shelf life is best if they are stored indoors at the end of September/beginning of October at a temperature of 10 degrees.
