DESCRIPTION
Old popular variety predating 1880! Fascinating and unusual melon that resembles a banana more than a cantaloupe! 16-20"L weighing 4-5 lbs at maturity. Little or no netting. Yellow rind, salmon flesh, very sweet and juicy with a hint of banana taste and aroma.
CLASSIFICATIONS
OPEN POLLINATED
Pollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.
HEIRLOOM
This variety has a history of being passed down within a family or community, similar to the generational sharing of certain items like jewelry or furniture.
