| After struggling with open pollinated Charentais for a few years, I tried this variety just this year. The plants thrived and produced a good yield of good looking fruit. Unfortunately, the fruit had no flavor. Back to the open pollinated. |

| I've grown these melons for 2 seasons and have had good success. Very flavorful. Between our short season and cool night temperatures, melons don't do well here so this was a wonderful find.
Short field life so you'll want to eat them as soon as they ripen. |
