Oriental Melon (Cucumis melo var. makuwa)
The Oriental Melon is a sweet, aromatic heirloom melon treasured across East Asia for its delicate flavor and beautiful appearance. Vines are vigorous and productive, producing oval to round fruits with pale yellow skin and subtle white striping. The crisp, juicy flesh is lightly sweet, refreshing, and fragrant—somewhere between a cantaloupe and a honeydew, but with a cleaner, brighter taste.
Plants thrive in warm, sunny conditions and well-drained soil, I grow mine in my green house in the summer once I move my baby plants out . Oriental melons are easy to grow, early to mature, and ideal for fresh eating, fruit salads, and elegant desserts. A charming and delicious addition to any garden, they offer both beauty and exceptional flavor.
Highlights:
Sweet, crisp, aromatic fruit
Productive, vigorous vines
Early-maturing heirloom variety
Beautiful striped yellow skin
Perfect for fresh eating
