Description

Early-ripening, aromatic honeydew melon with dark green, relatively heavily ribbed, netted skin and deep orange, juicy flesh. When fully ripe, the skin turns yellowish and the fruit exudes an intense aroma. The stalk can be easily removed from the fruit. The variety has a very high yield potential with an average fruit weight of just over 1 kg. Cultivation in front of a sunny house wall can make the harvest earlier and increase the sweetness.
