The flesh is mildly sweet and aromatic with excellent fresh eating quality, and once ripened the fruit stores well, making it a practical and versatile choice for both the kitchen and the pantry. A genuinely eye-catching melon that is as impressive on the kitchen bench as it is in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThriving in warm, sunny conditions with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture, 'Tiger' melon performs best in the warmest regions of New Zealand where long, hot summers allow the fruit sufficient time to ripen fully and develop its best flavour and colour. Water consistently throughout the season for the best fruit quality and sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, Summer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoors in seed mix, transplant after frost risk passes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–1.5 m apart with room to spread or climb\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vining to 2 m+ with support\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–14 days in warm conditions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 days; when skin turns fully striped and fruit gives slightly at stem end\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mildly sweet and aromatic; excellent fresh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rasmussen Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47874816409751,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/2828\/4311\/files\/Tiger_Melon_10_seeds.png?v=1780875271","url":"https:\/\/junglestory.co.nz\/hi\/products\/tiger-melon-10-seeds","provider":"Jungle Story ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
