Plum Granny

Dudaim type. Fruit are orange and red striped and about the size of a baseball. Similar to Queen Anne's Pocket Melon but smaller. Fuzzy skin. Very aromatic fruit are most commonly used for decoration and their perfume, but can be used in the kitchen too. Fruit have a slightly sour flavor more reminiscent of cucumbers than melons. Thin, white flesh. Fruit keep well. Highly vining plants are very productive. In the 2018 planting at Heritage Farm, one plant produced markedly larger fruit, which were otherwise similar in shape and coloration. Relatively early maturing. SSE Accession # 112948
