Description

The listing, 75 Melorange Exotic Mini Cantaloupe Seeds has ended.

Melorange is a cross between American Cantaloupe and an heirloom french Cantaloupe variety. It is not genetically modified.

These melons are small but have a really nice rich flavor; sort of floral, and sweeter than your average Cantaloupe.
Its shelf life is longer than other melons, making it easy to store and then eat when you want.

Unlike regular Cantaloupes the Melorange has green stripes on its rind.

1 cup of this melon is only 60 calories, and it also makes creamy and delicious juice and smoothies!

The seeds are about half the size of a full sized Cantaloupe or Honeydew seed. (See the last picture for comparison).

You'll receive 75 seeds in a little ziplock baggie!

Grow the same way as you would other melons.

So far the growers don't seem to be releasing the info about exact growing time.

I did ask on two gardening forums today where it looked like 1 or 2 people had grown these before. Hopefully someone there will be able to answer the question about how many total days it takes until maturity.

In the meantime it's probably best to go by feel and smell since I'm not sure whose genes they inherited (the French Heirloom or the American bigger Cantaloupe variety).

Bid fanned and watching. Question, About the same grow time as the larger types? Or is this like other minis that mature earlier? Thank you.

It's so new and rare I'm not sure, but I'm trying to research it.
