Highlights
The netted skin and compact semi-bush growth habit mean you're not wrestling with sprawling vines across your garden. Each fruit reaches 2 to 3 pounds, sized right for a family meal rather than overwhelming you with abundance. The green flesh is outstandingly sweet and delicious, and this hybrid's heat tolerance means it performs even when summer turns scorching. Mature plants stay between 12 and 15 inches tall, giving you real flexibility in garden layout.
Common Uses
Incredible Melon shines at summer picnics and BBQ gatherings, where its sweet green flesh and convenient 2 to 3 pound size make it easy to serve fresh. The flavor lends itself to eating out of hand, sliced and chilled on a hot afternoon, or as part of summer fruit platters.
