Description
(74 days) F-1 Hybrid. Often the earliest muskmelon to vine-ripen for me—Aug. 11 in the very warm 2012 season, Aug. 23 in the less warm one of 2014. Dependable, early and easy to grow even for the melon-challenged, delivering unusual sweetness and muskiness, full flavor with little compromise for the earliness. Enjoys a broad range of geographic adaptation. Achieved a 3.4 taste rating out of a possible 4 in Percy’s 2012 trial. The 6″ oval fruits averaged 2.8 lb for Alice and 3.0 for me, boasting small seed cavities around thick sweet orange flesh. Alice’s tested at 9.4 Brix, but it has recorded as high as 14–15 in other trials. Tolerant to some F strains, resistant to PM
