Variety description

10 August 2026

Arava F1 melon fruits have a regular round shape and smooth skin with a fine netting. During the ripening process, the skin color changes from greenish to golden yellow. Upon reaching full maturity, the fruits are prone to abscission from the peduncle (slip type).

The fruit flesh is pale green. Its consistency is tender and juicy, characterized by a sweet taste with honey and fruity notes. The hybrid is intended for commercial production and cultivation in private household plots; the plant requires pollination.
