Melons 'Armenian Giant'

  • Product number: 202012
  • Origin: Armenia
  • Latin: Cucumis melo

Perhaps the most delicious melon we have ever tasted; this exquisite and gigantic Persian melon originally comes from Armenia. The fruits have a yellow skin with a modestly visible netting and can reach a weight of almost 10 kg. Inside, the pure white flesh surprises with its astonishing sweetness, flavour, and refreshing quality when fully ripened on the plant. Easy to grow in warm, temperate, and tropical climates, and a top performer for greenhouses in Northern Europe.
