Cucumis melo
A well-known favourite in South Africa, traditionally eaten either as a breakfast fruit or in fruit salads due to its sweet musky flavour. Developed by a Japanese grower living in California in the 1920's to sell at local markets. This well-known, stunning, netted variety is a sure winner in your garden or on your table. It is slip ripened, which means that when ripe the stem of the fruit will part from the fruit under slight pressure, indicating that it is ripe and perfect for your plate.
Ready for harvest around 85 days.
Standard packet contains approx. 15 seeds
