Melon – Kiku Chrysanthemum (3.25″ pot)

Description

A very rare and historic selection from Japan, this compact melon is ideal for pots. It is named for the Japanese chrysanthemum flower, which it is said to resemble. One of the best melons we found in Japan, with an incredibly unique flavor. Early and very productive. Its mellow, creamy flesh tastes like Greek yogurt with a hint of lychee; the flavor has also been compared to pear. The origin of Kiku melon is the Makuwa Uri melon, which came to Japan from China sometime in antiquity.
