General Information: Oka Melon is a Quebec-bred Heirloom muskmelon known for its intensely sweet flavour and aromatic, pale green flesh. The small to medium fruits have lightly netted skins and ripen best in warm conditions with consistent watering. This variety performs well in northern climates when grown in rich soil and full sun, making it a favourite for home gardens.
