Other: The Tigger or Tiger Melon is an heirloom muskmelon known for its ornamental tiger-striped skin in shades of orange, red, and yellow. The fruit is highly fragrant and can be used as a natural air freshener. Each fruit is roughly the size of a softball, weighing up to 1 pound. The plants are high yielding, producing up to 20 melons per vine. They thrive in hot and dry conditions, which enhance the sweetness and juiciness of the fruit. The creamy white flesh offers a sweet and juicy taste, reminiscent of an Asian pear and cantaloupe.
