DESCRIPTION
Murrmel is a reliable Charentais-type melon valued for its uniform fruit set and particularly aromatic flavour. The medium-sized fruits, averaging around 600 g, develop a rich, fragrant aroma and are ideal for fresh consumption. This variety is well suited for gardeners who want a productive melon without excessive difficulty.
The plants grow freely and can be trained upward in a greenhouse to save space and improve air circulation. In Northern and Central European climates, greenhouse cultivation provides the most consistent results, while outdoor growing is possible in very warm, sheltered locations with full sun.
