The Banana melon has long been a garden favorite. These yellow-skinned, banana-shaped melons grow up to 24" long and weigh as much as 8 pounds each. The salmon-orange flesh is sweet and spicy, with a delicious fragrance. 

The heirloom variety Banana melon was first listed in 1885 in J. H. Gregory's seed catalog. Mr. Gregory said of this melon, "When ripe, it reminds one of a large, overgrown banana... it smells like one, having a potent and delicious fragrance."
