We've all heard of the historically famous, heavenly scented, palmed sized Queen Anne's Pocket Melon thought extinct near the turn of the century. Yet, Anne's 'tiny, palm sized melon' though aromatic, had a bland, unappealing taste which would eventually lead to its demise.
Now, meet the reason for the tiny palm melons near extinction. . .
