VEGETABLES / MELON
C. inodorous. Large round fruit ripens from light green to a yellow-green color. Smooth skinned fruit measure 7.5-9.5 inches long and 5.5-7.25 inches in diameter, and weigh up to 7 pounds. Green flesh up to an inch thick. Low productivity when grown in 2016 at Heritage Farm, and a bit later season. This is a true winter melon and can be difficult to judge ripeness.
