I asked this same question here about 6 months ago but no replies so I guess nobody is growing them. There is a nursery on the Sunshine Coast selling Calabash Trees.

I think I've seen it fruit in Bris.
got some seed somewhere in my seed stash.
I bought Morro seeds (C.alata) from San Carlos Products imported from El Salvador to make a drink (Horchata)
They've proven to be viable when I've sown them, but I'm not in the ideal climate to keep them going , so haven't bothered to try.
