90 days. Banana Melon produces a fruit that is long (18"-20") and shaped sort of like a torpedo. Not what you would normally think of as a melon shape. Fruit can weigh in excess of 5lbs. It has blue-grey skin that turns yellow as it matures. Banana melons are smooth with very little netting. In 1889 it was commonly available at farmer's markets in Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
Good late-maturing type. Can stand the sun.
