Melon Honey Dew - 1237
Original American variety
Its creamy white pulp, rich in juice and sugar, and with a delicate fragrance, makes it one of the most delicious fruits to be consumed from August to the following March. It keeps perfectly during the winter and the riper it gets, the richer its sugar content and aromas. It is spherical, about 20 cm wide, weighing approximately 2,500 kg, with a smooth skin that turns whitish when ripe.
