Ogen Melons
Grower: Weiser

Description: The Ogen melon has the initial appearance of a cantaloupe with a cornflower yellow netted rind and lime green longitudinal grooves running from stem to blossom end. When ripe, the pale green flesh is succulent and sticky sweet with intoxicating aromatics of tropical fruit and flora. The flesh bears a pulpy loose easily removed central seed cavity. Typical melons grow to softball size with weights of three to five pounds.
