| A top notch performer for me. I really like the taste and texture of Galia melons and this is one of the best. Flavor does suffer some with excess water and the melon is quite large. |

| Does well in a hot, humid climate. Not as sweet as some green-fleshed melons, but still delicious. Will produce large melons if given enough manure. |
