Variety description

10 August 2026

Sirocco melon belongs to the category of "winter" melons of the "canary" type, which are characterized by yellow skin color and white flesh. The variety is early-maturing in its group and is valued for its juicy, sweet flesh, as well as the ability of the fruits to retain their marketable qualities for a long time after harvest.

Plants of this breeding line are characterized as productive. Detailed data on specific disease resistance or morphological indicators of plant height are not available in open sources.
