Melon 'Northern Arizona'

You'll never find this rare heirloom melon in your local grocery store. It is too juicy and thin-skinned to survive shipping. But it's perfect for the home garden. The sweet, cantaloupe-colored flesh melts in your mouth. The large, teardrop-shaped fruits weigh 6-8 lbs.

Melon 'Northern Arizona' was brought to Arizona by the pioneers. We obtained our original seeds from John Jeavons many years ago.

Sow melon seeds outdoors one week after the last frost date, 1/2" deep. Space plants 2 feet apart in rows. Or sow in hills spaced 4-6 feet apart. Thin to 3 plants per hill. Full sun.
