FRUIT – CRENSHAW-MELON

FRUIT – MELON-CRENSHAW

Cucumis melo

Crenshaws very closely resembles its parent melon, Casaba melons and muskmelons. Mostly spherical in shape, it has a somewhat flattened bottom and tapers to a gentle point at the stem-end. They are typically medium to large-sized melons, weighing 6-8 or more. Crenshaws are a late-season melon, requiring 110 or more days. They are well worth the wait though, as the sweet and somewhat ‘spicy’ taste and smooth texture make this a pleasing contrast in late summer or fall.
