25 Seeds Vine Peach Mango Melon Cucumis melo Sweet Fruiting Vine Heirloom

Vine Peach, also known as Mango Melon, is a vigorous vining annual in the Cucurbitaceae family grown for its small, round, aromatic fruit. The plants produce abundant crops of egg-sized melons with a mild, sweet flavor and tender flesh, making them an appealing choice for home gardeners seeking something uncommon and productive.

These melons are versatile in the kitchen and can be used fresh, pickled, or preserved much like a cucumber or melon. The vines grow rapidly and can be trained up trellises or allowed to sprawl, providing good coverage and a steady harvest through the warm season. They perform well in garden beds, raised planters, and containers with adequate support. Harvest when fruit is firm and fragrant for best quality.
