HEIRLOOM Melt in your mouth and oh so juicy, we’ve never tasted a melon even remotely like this, Friends: Deep melon flavors nuanced with tropical fruit, Chinese Savory resists saccharine sweetness yet is so fabulously refreshing. If flavor is a fascination as well as profound joy in your life, a) we can be friends (!) and b) your life will never be the same after tasting this melon. With a thin rind melting like butter in your mouth alongside the rich flesh, the entire experience of this melon is both familiar and impressively unique. Easy to grow and with a wider harvest window than many melons, each plant shares 3 to 4 exquisite fruit, so beautiful and easy to spot amid the forest of melon foliage.
