Rare Heirloom Organic Sharlyn Melon Seeds – Pineapple-Sweet Specialty Melon (10 Seeds)
Sharlyn melon is truly in a class of its own. This rare heirloom organic muskmelon is beloved by growers for its exceptional flavor, early ripening, and unusually long harvest window—a dream come true for home gardeners.
Often called Pineapple Melon, Ananas Melon, Israeli Melon, or Ananas d’Amérique à Chair Verte, Sharlyn delivers a flavor experience that evolves as it ripens. Early on, the flesh is green with a refreshing honeydew-like taste. As it matures, the center turns tangerine and the flavor deepens into an exquisite blend of pineapple, coconut, floral notes, and tropical sweetness. After a week off the vine, the flesh becomes white, meltingly tender, and intensely aromatic.
One of Sharlyn’s standout features is its forgiving harvest window. Unlike many melons that must be picked at the perfect moment, Sharlyn remains delicious for over a full week as it ripens—making it easier for gardeners to enjoy peak flavor without stress. When the green, netted rind begins to blush gold, it’s ready to enjoy.
Fruits typically weigh 4–8 pounds, with an oblong shape and lightly netted orange rind. This heirloom variety is especially popular along the West Coast and performs well in short-season climates, ripening earlier than many other specialty melons.
