As the Hermes variety among Hami melons, the netted melon has always attracted a lot of attention because of its price and taste. So do you know when netted melons ripen? Let's take a look!

1. When do netted melons ripen

The ripening time of netted melons depends on the environmental temperature of the growing region. In Xinjiang, because of the large temperature difference between day and night, there is already some experience in cultivating netted melons, and they can be harvested multiple times a year. In other regions, greenhouse cultivation takes about 110 days to ripen, and two harvests can be obtained per year.

2. Differences between netted melons and Hami melons

1. Difference in flesh color

The flesh of the netted melon is orange-red or yellow-green, crisp and sweet, with a flavor similar to that of a fragrant pear, very delicious and tasty. The flesh of the Hami melon, however, is yellow, white or green, slightly lighter in color than the former, with a sweet and fragrant taste.

2. Difference in fruit shape

The netted melon fruit is round and spherical, with a green vine at the top, and the rind has gray or yellow stripes that look very much like a net, which is why it is called the netted melon. The Hami melon fruit is usually oblong-elliptical, and some are spherical, with a smooth rind that has longitudinal grooves or markings, and some have yellow rind.

That is all we have summarized today about questions related to netted melons, so in the future it will be easier to tell them apart when buying.
