This variety is all about aroma and taste. You’ll smell its remarkable fragrance before you even see it and once cut, you’ll experience a flavor that hints of honey. Compact vines are ideal for small spaces, yet still allow for the unbeatable taste and flavor of vine-ripened fruits! Ribbed 6-8 lb. fruits with strong netting measure about 8-in. across and are packed with succulent, juicy, tender, peachy-orange flesh with musky, honey sweetness. Hardy plants are resistant to fusarium wilt and powdery mildew.
