Ananas Sweet

Ananas Sweet Melon is a fragrant heirloom-style melon known for its sweet tropical flavour and aromatic flesh. This variety produces medium-sized melons with lightly netted skin and pale to golden flesh with notes reminiscent of pineapple, which is how it earned the name 'Ananas.'

Plants are vigorous warm-season vines that perform best in full sun and fertile soil. With proper heat and growing conditions, they produce reliable harvests of intensely sweet, juicy melons ideal for fresh eating.
