I believe the answer is:

calabash

(Other definitions for calabash that I've seen before include "Tree with hard-shelled fruit" , "Tropical evergreen tree, might lash a cab, oddly" , "Large, hard-shelled fruit" , "Large fruit supplier" , "water-container" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
