Queen Anne's Pocket Melon
The fruit of Queen Anne's pocket melon varies from the size of an apricot to a lemon, and turns a beautiful deep orange to maroon with yellow striping when ripe. At a time when bathing was a rarity, they were used as perfumery, although "the highly developed melon odor that they exhale when perfectly ripe can be disagreeable because of its intensity." Also called pomegranate or plum granny in Southern states, where it rambles on fences at the edge of the vegetable garden. Cannot ship to AZ.
