About Xylangouro Melon

(Cucumis melo). A delicious, silky textured cucumber-like melon originally from the Greek island of Chios. The mild, lightly honey-sweet flesh is velvety soft. A superb heat-tolerant cucumber substitute. Our seeds were shared with us from the St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Monastery gardens in Roscoe, NY. We have shared seeds with this monastery garden in the past and were delighted when they sent us seeds for this large, lightly fuzzy cucumber-like melon. The vines are vigorous and heat loving, producing masses of these “cukes" that are very similar to Armenian cucumber. Annual
