Pineapple

Pineapple melon is a medium-early and popular variety among gardeners and amateur farmers, ripening in approximately 65-85 days after seedling transplant. The plant is strong, densely foliated with a well-developed root system, well-adapted to various growing conditions, but prefers warm soil, intense sunlight, and calm weather. For increased yield, regular watering, fertilization, and pinching side shoots with no more than three first fruits left per plant are recommended. The variety has moderate resistance to powdery mildew, phytophthora, and anthracnose, but is sensitive to frost.

The fruits of Pineapple melon are oval-shaped and weigh from 1.5 to 2.5 kg. The skin is thin and yellow-green, while the flesh is white-yellow, juicy, and very tender, with a refined aroma characteristic of this variety. The melon has excellent taste qualities — it is very sweet, juicy, and aromatic, making it attractive for fresh consumption.

Moreover, the fruits withstand transportation well and can be stored for up to one month, ensuring convenience in storage and marketing. The variety is characterized by uniform fruiting and stable fruiting over a long period. In addition to fresh consumption, Pineapple melon is suitable for making jams, expanding its usage possibilities.
