Melon 'Ha'Ogen' (Israel)

Ha'Ogen is our favorite green-fleshed melon. The 3-4 pound fruits ripen early. They have a sweet flavor, and they are very productive. Also known as Israel Melon, although it is believed to have originated in Hungary.

Melon 'Ha'Ogen' is easy to pick. Just watch for the green skins to turn amber. The crack-resistant fruits are perfect for the farmers' market.

Hungarian heirloom.
