Melon - Mango Melon (4" pot)

Small, early melons that taste of mango and peach.  Fruits are round-oval, and only about 3" in diameter. We find that since smaller fruit, rippen faster, there is less chance that pest pressure will ruin your harvest. Has a pretty yellow rind and fruity-tasting white flesh The pulp is juicy and sweet, it can be eaten raw like any other melon, but it is good in other ways, like jams and pies! 

Grown Organically from seed in our nursery.

Pest/Disease Management: Does need to be protected from caterpillars, particularly when young, which can be done with hand picking or selectively spraying with organic caterpillar treatments. We use BT (sparingly) for caterpillars. Resistant to most mildews but may still occur. We treat with a spray of half water and half milk for mildew.
