Melon Golden

The Golden melon is a mid-early variety with a vegetation period ranging from 65 to 90 days, depending on growing conditions. The plant is compact, with moderate foliage and a well-developed root system, ensuring its resistance to drought and major diseases. The variety prefers a warm and dry climate but is sensitive to excessive moisture, which is important to consider when growing in open ground.

The melon fruits have an oval or round-oval shape with a bright yellow or orange hue and a smooth surface. The average fruit weight ranges from 1.5 to 2 kg. The flesh is white, thick, very juicy and sugary, with a sugar content of 11% to 12%, which gives it a rich sweet taste and a pronounced pleasant aroma. Thanks to these qualities, the melon is valued both for fresh consumption and culinary use, including drying, sun-drying, and processing into puree or additions to juices.

The variety is distinguished by good yield — from 2.5 to 4 kg per bush, as well as excellent shelf life and transportability. The harvested crop can be stored in cool, dry, and dark conditions for 15 to 120 days, making it convenient for sale and long-term use. Versatility of application and resistance to adverse conditions make the Golden melon a popular choice for both amateur gardeners and commercial cultivation.
