This was grown by accident this year and has turned out to be one of our garden favorites. Said to be a true French cantaloupe that originated in the Poitou-Charentes region. The scent is as intoxicating as I've read and as flavorful too! Juicy and sweet, better than any melon I've had. The only negative is that the fruit has a tendency to split as it ripens. We've found that the fruit is just as wonderful just before its ripest state, when it is still a little firm. Fruit ripens at about 65 to 70 days. Good producer. Plants are sprawling and need room to grow. Will definitely grow again.
