A necessity there at the edge of the desert, where stepping outside mid-morning in April feels like entering a blast furnace. Unsurprisingly, he developed quite a taste for these sweet refreshing fragrant cantaloupes. Smooth, no ridges, lightly netted, blemish-free and uniform. In 2012, harvested 12 fruits from four plants, averaging 1.56 lb each that tested 10.9 Brix. Will grow larger in a warmer climate.
