Banana Melon
(Banana Cantaloupe)
Origin: United States
Item #: MELON006
The Banana Melon is a very
rare and a very heirloom unusual melon variety that looks just like a banana!
Some of our online seed competitors
who carry this melon like to claim that this melon variety is a fairly
recent melon development, however, Banana Melons were listed in the
1888 edition of W. Atlee Burpee's Seed Annual, who states that the Banana
Melon was being grown in the State of New Jersey as early as 1880 or 1881
and had likely been introduced from overseas a few years earlier. The J.H.
Gregory Co. also listed Banana Melons in their catalogue in 1885.
According to U.P. Heydrick
in his classic work on melons, squash and cucumbers "The Cucurbits of New
York" which was first published in 1937, Banana Melons were being listed
in most American seed catalogues prior to 1900.
This great variety produces
an abundant supply of 16 to 24 inch long, tapered, banana shaped melons
which are about 4 inches in diameter. Each melon weighs from 4 to 5 pounds.
When fully mature, the melons feature a smooth yellow skin with very little
netting and an intensly flavored salmon-pink flesh. Matures about 80 to
100 and has performed well for our UK customers over the last several seasons,
so it is a wonderful melon variety for cooler climates.
