| Negative | Tplant | On May 16, 2008, Tplant from Pembroke Pines, FL (Zone 10a) wrote: It smells great but taste leaves a lot to desire. Perhaps it is because of my climate? So. Florida? The plant is highly susceptible to powdery mildew so perhaps my climate is to humid for it. It is a unique looking melon with delicious fragrance but that was the only thing that was delicious for me. If you live in a dry climate it may taste better there? However I will not waste the space and time to grow it again.
Sorry to be so negative!! |
| Neutral | Farmerdill | On Mar 4, 2005, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: The fruit are vibrant yellow with brilliant fire-red, zigzag stripes, (a few fruit may be solid yellow), simply beautiful! The white flesh gets sweeter in dry climates. Small in size the fruits weigh up to 1 lb. - perfect for a single serving. The vigorous plants yield heavily, even in dry conditions. This heirloom came from an Armenian market located in a mountain valley. |
