Seed Needs, Cucamelon/Mexican Sour Gherkin (Melothria scobra) Twin Pack of 65 Seeds Each characteristics and description:
Quality Cucamelon seeds packaged by Seed Needs. All Tomato seeds sold by Seed Needs are Non-GMO based seed products and are intended for the current & the following growing season. All seeds are produced from open pollinated plants, stored in a temperature controlled facility and constantly moved out due to popularity.
Cucamelons have the taste of a cucumber that is citrusy and tangy rather than sweet. This is a slow growing vine plant that can grow up to 10 feet under the right conditions. The fruit can grow to be 1 to 2 inches, but should be cultivated before it reaches 1 inch to prevent the fruit from becoming too seedy if used for cooking.
The vine also produces small yellow flowers and does well climbing up trellises, taking about 60 to 70 days.
Compared to cucumbers, the Mexican Sour Gherkin is more tolerant to drought and mild cold (but not frost). You can treat Cucamelon as a perennial, and though the fruits are not particularly high yielding, they produce their fruits yearly.
Each seed packet measures 3.25" x 4.50" in dimension. The front displays a colorful illustration of the flower and the back displays detailed sowing instructions to grow them.
