Banana Melon is a heritage stumpy "banana" shaped melon, hence the name but it does not taste of bananas. Fruits are about 2ft long with a smooth yellow skin and salmon pink flesh. Not very aromatic until it is cut open or it naturally opens when fully ripe and then it has a very strong sweet exotic pineapple scent. Excellent sweet spicy flavour and 80 days from seed sowing to fruit in warm conditions in a greenhouse or polytunnel. I went to find the Melon Banana after a customer told me he used to grow it but could not find a seed source any more.
