Ananas Coquette Hybrid Melon

Ananas Coquette Hybrid Melon

This melon gives you the best of both worlds—a combination of French and American melons. It has the netted skin of a cantaloupe, but in an oblong shape that can weigh in at 5 to 8 pounds! The flesh is light orange and deliciously sweet. The Ananas Coquette melon is both prolific and disease-resistant. Use in smoothies, fruit salad, appetizers, and even ice cream.

Essentials:

Sun Exposure

  • full sun (six to eight hours)

Soil pH

  • 6.2 to 6.8

Hardiness Zones

  • 4 to 9

Spacing

  • thin to three or four seedlings in a 12-inch mound
  • space mounds 4 to 6 feet all around

Moisture

  • 1 to 2 inches per week

Notes

  • prefers well-drained, sandy loam soil with lots of direct sunlight
  • keep fruits off the ground
  • keep weeds under control with mulch; black plastic helps deter weeds and retain moisture
