Description

Cantaloupe Honey Rock (Cucumis melo) is a famous 1933 All-America Selections winner celebrated for its exceptionally sweet, honey-like flavor and high yields. Producing sturdy, globe-shaped fruits weighing 3 to 4 pounds, it features thick, firm salmon-orange flesh beneath a heavily netted, coarse grey-green to tan rind. Fast-maturing and remarkably vigorous, it bears 5 to 7 high-quality melons per vine, making it a standout heirloom choice for home gardens, fresh summer breakfasts, fruit salads, and market displays.
