Crescentia cujete, also known as the calabash tree, is a flowering plant native to the Americas and naturalized in India. It is the national tree of St. Lucia and can grow up to 10 meters tall. The tree produces simple leaves and its fruit is used to make utensils, such as cups and bowls, in rural areas of the Caribbean, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. It is also used for decorative and musical purposes in various cultures, and is highly respected in Haiti for its role in making sacred rattles. In Costa Rica, a traditional dance of the calabashes is held annually and participants receive hand-painted calabash vessels. In Africa, the fruit is used for decoration and as a resonator for musical instruments. It is also used by women working as artisanal gold miners.
