Sugar Cube Hybrid Cantaloupe
Growing Sugar Cube Hybrid Cantaloupe
‘Sugar Cube’ is a hybrid cantaloupe prized for its intensely sweet flavor, personal-size fruits, and smooth deep orange flesh. Coarsely netted melons deliver an impressive 14% Brix sweetness level while maintaining excellent keeping quality.
Sow ‘Sugar Cube’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep and space plants about 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well during warm summer conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 80 days, begin checking fruits once they reach full size and develop their mature color, aroma, and sweetness.
Exceptionally sweet, compact, and juicy, ‘Sugar Cube’ is excellent for fresh eating, individual servings, fruit salads, and summer desserts.
