Melon 'Sharlyn'

'Sharlyn' melon is a real treat for connoisseurs. The greenish-white to pale orange flesh has a smooth, creamy texture and a complex flavor that is best described as tropical. The large fruits weigh 4-9 pounds. This late-season variety is definitely worth waiting for!

'Sharlyn' melon is ready to pick when the netted rind begins to turn from green to yellow, and the fruit becomes fragrant. Don't wait too long to eat it because it has a short shelf life (making it very rare in the marketplace).
