Their origin can be traced back to the pontifical fruit gardens of Avignon. The mid-sized round fruits boast delicious, juicy & sugar-sweet flesh which is sunset yellow/orange in colour. Charentais-melons indicate by their fragrance when they are ripe & can be harvested. They emit a beautifully fruity perfume letting you know they are ripe & ready to harvest. Grafted ' Anasta' plants grow very fast & do not only grow in greenhouses & tunnels but will even grow in sunny & sheltered places in the garden or on a patio. Good resistance to powdery mildew.
