French heirloom documented by Vilmorin in the 1880’s. Famous throughout France. Fruits weigh 5-8 pounds and have a distinct bumpy outer shell. Many times they are mistaken for a squash. One of the most fragrant and flavorful of all melons when grown properly. Succulant, dark salmon-orange flesh. Always serve at room temperature. Melons will not slip, so we find it is best to pick slightly green and ripen indoors. Prefers a hot, dry, growing season. Does well for us in Wisconsin. 80 days.
