The color of both the skin and the flesh is white. The skin becomes tinged with yellow when the melon is fully mature. It's hard to tell when they are ripe since they don't slip and the color change is subtle, but don't worry, even harvested prematurely they will still be plenty sweet. The flavor is very, very sweet almost like bubble gum. We are talking big yields here, like 30 or 40 fruit per hill.
Fruits are about a pound.
We have been partial to this Burpee melon since we first grew it 3 or 4 years ago. It is not the earliest, but acceptably so, with great dependability and a wonderful flavor. The fruits are round and heavily netted with a thick flesh and small seed cavity. They can be harvested a bit before they slip naturally. A unique full sized melon with white skin and white flesh.
