Cantaloupe 'Emir' F1

More intensive contacts with Eastern Europe are releasing many vegetable treasures! We are introducing this Polish Cantaloupe melon in the hope of hearing more about it: please email us with your findings! The promise is: good resistance to cooler weather, making it suitable for cultivation under "cold" glass, but even good chances in the open ground, provided it's in the most sheltered, sunny spot, of course! The melon is quite small, about 10-15 cm, deliciously sweet (when ripe) and has orange flesh. Unripe, the melon has green flesh and a pleasant fresh taste.
A finding from one of our customers: Early this year, I received this melon plant from my allotment neighbour. Purchased from you. The result is more than we ever dared to dream of. A total of about 9 delicious Cantaloupe melons. We have never had them so tasty from our greenhouse. Truly SUPER!!!

True Cantaloupe (Cantalupensis group) Very old, beautiful varieties. Typical is the rough, bumpy or warty skin. The fruit exudes a musky aroma and scent, the leaf is lobed and (often) heart-shaped. The flesh is orange or green and the skin is always netted. Cantaloupe (Dutch: Kanteloep) is the French spelling for the Italian Cantaluppi, the estate of the popes, where in the early Middle Ages melons from the then accessible world were collected and grown.
