Re: Name of this melon
That was tricky.
Hours later. I was investigating exotic cucumbers, but it's actually a melon.
I was leaning toward a Chinese yellow cucumber, then a malabar cucumber, but
Chinese yellow
Malabar cucumber
and then I finally found it !
YES! Yellow Cucumis Melon

Re: Name of this melon
There are many varieties of Cucumis melon, and many are yellow.
The one in that photo is probably what’s called oriental/chinese/korean
This source calls it Korean

It makes sense that ‘orientals’ would name it differently.

Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Re: Name of this melon
Hi Thank you both for your help, and that was an amazing effort @Anchor Moy . I am not sure if it actually is the Yellow Cucumis melon, or at least not the one that @violet posted because the inside of the melon is green, not yellow. See this pic:Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2023 1:33 am That was tricky.

I'm actually sending pics from two different locations. I'll send a picture of the second location, but the outside is a mixture of orange and green. It actually looks more like the "Malabar Cucumber" on the outside (at least in your picture) but I assume the Malabar Cucumber is really like a cucumber inside in terms of its text and fruit? (not like a melon)
Re: Name of this melon
Well. Goodness me. Be careful what you search for.
I tried multiple search options to see if anything came up to help identify your melon. All went well, although with no success, until I reached my final search.
While the penultimate search of long yellow melon green flesh was fine.
Searching on
long melon green flesh
Returned very different images. [contains adult content]
Hmmm then the search worked as it should. Ignore me!

Here's the picture of the melon from a different location. As I said it's like a green and orange at the same time.violet wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:23 pm Well. Goodness me. Be careful what you search for.

Searching on your term Violet, I found these two varieties of Long Thai Melon (Green and yellow varieties). Given the proximity to Thailand, the tendency to use Thai seeds, and similarity in appearance, I would say this is it:

I did not notice any adult content! : )
