This melon is distinguished by its light green, almost white and very hard skin, which protects a red, crunchy and juicy flesh. The fruits are perfectly round, measure up to 25 cm in diameter and can weigh more than 5 kg. Their sweet taste and creamy texture make it a delicious variety to enjoy late, thanks to their resistance to autumn cold. Ideal for cold climates like those of Quebec, this variety requires a location in full sun and well-drained soil. To prolong conservation, it is recommended to dry the peel in the sun and store the fruits in a dry and ventilated place.
The 'King and Queen Winter' Melon is perfect for home gardeners looking to extend the harvest season while adding a productive and tasty plant to their garden.
