Melon 'Northern Arizona'

Melon 'Northern Arizona' has sweet, cantaloupe-colored flesh that melts in your mouth. The large, teardrop-shaped fruits weigh 6 to 8 pounds.

This rare heirloom was brought to Arizona by the pioneers. We obtained our original seed stock many years ago from biodynamic farmer John Jeavons, who praised it highly. It appears to be nearly extinct now. Please help us keep this great variety going by saving and sharing seeds.
