The fruits of this melon are distinguished by their elongated shape and their greenish-yellow skin, sometimes slightly ribbed. They measure about 15 to 20 cm in length and hide an orange, juicy and sweet flesh. The tropical and unique taste recalls flavors of vanilla, banana and ripe pineapple. Adapted to cool climates, this variety is also distinguished by its relatively low seed production.
The 'Banana' Melon is ideal for home gardeners looking to add a touch of the exotic to their garden, whilst growing a sweet and tasty fruit, perfect for cooling off in summer.
