Emerald Gem Melon

Emerald Gem Melon – Organic Heirloom 4” Plant ‘Emerald Gem’ is a celebrated heirloom melon that was the most popular variety of the late 1800s, praised as being “altogether unapproached in delicious flavor.” This compact plant produces small, intensely flavorful melons that are perfect for home gardens. The 2–3 pound fruits ripen from deep emerald green to a yellow-brown, lightly netted skin. Inside, the flesh is pale orange, juicy, sweet, and slightly spicy, offering a rich, old-fashioned melon flavor that modern varieties rarely match. Plants are compact yet highly productive and perform best in full sun. ‘Emerald Gem’ has a relatively short harvest window and should be picked when the skin becomes netted and the fruit slips easily from the vine. This organic 4” Emerald Gem melon plant is ideal for gardeners who value exceptional flavor, manageable fruit size, and historic heirloom varieties. Fruit Size: 2–3 pounds Skin Color: Emerald green to yellow-brown Fle
