Crescentia cujete, commonly known as the calabash tree, is depicted with its distinctive large, green, oval-shaped fruits hanging from sturdy branches. The leaves are small, elongated, and bright green, creating a lush canopy. This tropical tree is known for its hard-shelled fruits that are traditionally used to make containers and musical instruments. The tree's branching is dense, and the fruits grow directly from the main limbs, a characteristic feature of this species native to Central and South America.
