This one grew and produced pretty well, but tended to split open pretty badly if it rained. The flavor was good, but not spectacular. I expected it to have a sweeter taste. It was a nice change from the muskmelons in the USA though. I didn't miss the musky smell and flavor, just the sweetness. If it had been sweeter, if would have been fabulous. As it was, it was decent.
