Cantaloupe: Honey Rock
(Cucumis melo)
The Cantaloupe is a creeping annual gourd producing round or oval fruits, 10-15cm (4-6”) diameter with a rough, scaly, netted outside skin. Cantaloupe is delicious as a dessert or in a fruit salad.
This open pollinated cantaloupe produces slightly oval fruit with thick, firm, sweet salmon-orange colored flesh. Fruits can weigh up to 1.5 kg and plants take about 85 days to maturity. This variety is somewhat resistant to Fusarium Wilt.
