Banana Melon (Cucumis melo)
The banana melon is a sturdy fruit with a squash-like appearance. The skin is yellow, with a cantaloupe-like interior that is spicy and sweet at the same time. The best way to enjoy this fruit is to eat it right off the vine. This unusual melon has long been a favourite in the garden.
