About Big Top

(Momordica charantia). A unique heart-shaped variety of bitter melon, easy to prepare and with a more mild flavor. The large, softball-sized fruit is an early producer. The long, rambling vines produce tons of smooth skinned, dark green, bumpy fruit. Thanks to a slightly thicker skin, this variety is considered an excellent shipper and is a perfect choice for gardeners wanting to grow bitter melon for the first time. Fruit range from 4 to 6 inches across. A favorite for stuffed bitter melon recipes! This wonderful Chinese heirloom is always a favorite in our gardens. Annual
