110-120 Days to maturity. Cucumis melo. Japanese New Melon Seeds. A non-GMO, annual, open-pollinated, heirloom, heat-tolerant Asian Melon. Suitable for growing in garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. Developed in the 1950s for its fragrance and sweet-tasting fruit, the New Melon has smooth green skin and white to pale yellow flesh. Each plant produces roughly 4-8 melons. Japanese breeders developed this melon to create a uniform fruit that delivers consistently excellent quality in terms of flavor and appearance. It's the result of Japan's strong emphasis on fruit perfection, which makes this melon stand out as a gourmet variety. New Melons have a delicate sweetness and smooth, tender flesh that sets them apart from typical Western melons, which tend to have more robust, musky flavors. ~2,800 seeds/oz.
