MON080 Yuma Grande Hybrid Melon
Yuma Grande is a hybrid Western Shipper type cantaloupe (F1) known for producing exceptionally large, high-quality fruit. It is a monoecious variety, meaning it produces separate male and female flowers on the same plant, and is favored by commercial growers for its consistent performance in specific seasonal windows.
It produces large, oval-shaped melons with heavy netting and no sutures.
The flesh is thick, firm, and deep orange, featuring a very compact seed cavity.
Fruits typically weigh between 3 to 3.5 kg (roughly 6.5 to 7.7 lbs), placing it in the extra-large category for cantaloupes.
The estimated time to maturity is approximately 88 days.
