Hale’s Best

Hale’s Best was found in the early 1920’s where sweet, superior, large musk melons grew prolifically in a Japanese farmer’s field near Brawley, California. Hale’s Best retains sweet, and juicy flesh underneath a netted hard rind, in-spite of drought, disease, and wet weather. This variety is a smaller to medium producing fruit, averaging 6-10 inches diameter, on small compact vines. Very fragrant, exceptionally juicy, and a long storage potential has Hale’s Best growing across America for over a century.
