Banana Melon
Banana Melon is one of the most unusual and delightful heirlooms in the melon world — the long, banana-shaped fruits emit a genuine sweet banana fragrance as they ripen, and the pale yellowish-green flesh is smooth, sweet, and mild without the musky overtones of cantaloupe. Dating back to the mid-1800s, this novelty heirloom is a genuine conversation starter in the garden and at the table, equally wonderful eaten fresh or chilled and sliced into a summer fruit salad. A unique heirloom worth growing.
