Banana Melon(C. melo )NZ HeritageFor many years we heard stories of these Banana melons having been grown in the Dargaville and Bay of Plenty areas. This one came to us from Mr Hugh Price a wonderful elderly grower near Opotiki 10 years ago and the stories keep on coming in. We find this one to be a healthy vigorous, heavy cropper of huge long banana shaped melons. They are sweet and have orange delicate flesh, which is eaten in long thin strips!! |
