Hale's Best Jumbo Melon
90 days. Hale's Best Jumbo Melon was discovered by ID Hale near Brawley, California in 1923. It was reportedly growing in a Japanese market gardener's field.
Hales Best Jumbo produces a thick, salmon-orange flesh that is sweet, juicy and has a creamy texture.
The seed cavity is small. The fruit is very fragrant, oval shaped, heavily netted and can weigh up to 5lbs! Now that is a real jumbo melon!
Contains 20 heirloom seeds

Customer Reviews
I grew these in the corner of a bed, and I had 5 melons growing in no time! Two got eaten by deer but the other three were delicious! These are cantaloupe like melons and they smell amazing too when ripe!
I didn't even like cantaloupe until growing these in 2022. Zone 7b Mississippi.
