Petit Gris de Rennes

Season Overview

Description

High-yielding melon with fruits between 500 and 800 g, which ripen well even in less warm conditions. Fruit ripeness is given when cracks form around the fruit stalk and it can be easily detached. Sweet, orange flesh, early ripening and aromatic.

Growing tips

Growing and planting melons requires a lot of warmth. It is best to let them climb on the ground and place the fruit on a wooden board or straw mulch. Remove the tops after the 4th leaf at the earliest. Cut the side shoots that have then grown from the leaf axils after the 3rd leaf.
