A great little melon that I grew in the 70's and 80's in Virginia. Does not do well here in Georgia. I like green fleshed melons so I moved up to the hybrid Galia types. Basically the same flavor but more adaptable to my present conditions.

I grew this melon on a trellis this year and have been very pleased. It is the juiciest melon I have ever eaten. After removing the seeds there is half a cup of juice in the cavity. Hard to describe the taste but very flavorful when fully ripe. Worth the space in my small garden. It earned a thumbs up.

Small Israeli melon with a tropical flavor. Very aromatic and sweet. Small size and easily grown on a trellis. Ripe rind turns golden color.
