Organic Seed Packet – Oka Embroidered Melon – Ecoumene

In 1893, four Trappist Fathers settled in the parish of Oka, Quebec. It was from a cross between the famous Montreal Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo Montreal) and the old American cultivar Banana (Cucumis melo Banana) that Trappist Father Athanase obtained the Oka melon. This early variety can be grown in most regions of Quebec. Its thick flesh and excellent flavor have a beautiful orange color.
