Description
Cucumis melo earns its name from its oblong and spherical shape. They grow upwards of 8 pounds. The Banana Melon seed matures in about 90 days. It is said to smell like a banana when ripe. The fragrance is quite strong. The flesh is an orange/salmon sort of color. Akin to cantaloupe in flavor, it is an absolutely beautiful and fascinating piece of fruit.
