Kajari is a very unusual small heirloommelon grown in the Punjab region of India. The fruit weigh 2 to 3 pounds and are delightfully fragrant. It is a beautiful melon “tri-colored” Copper-Red, Yellow and Green with honeydew green flesh! The fruits are absolutely gorgeous, about 3 pounds in weight and delicious! The red/copper stripes interspersed with light green and then a dark green rib make this an extremely unusual beautiful melon.
They taste like a ripe honeydew, and they look like beach balls! A sure hit at farmer's markets.
Each vine produces 6 - 9 melons in a short season, only 60-70 days seeds to fruit.
They can be planted only a few feet apart, seem to appreciate a trellis, and do better in partial shade than full sun. Any unripe melons can be picked after first frost and will continue to ripen in storage. A good keeper.
