Rarely does one find a melon with such unusual characteristics. Our intrepid plant explorer reports, "While we were in a hotel in Luang Prabang, in Laos, we were served slices of ‘something’, but we decide what it was. Because of its almost creamy consistency I actually had to think whether or not it was an avocado! After further thought it became obvious that it was a melon. Hence our name ‘Avocado Melon’." These melons seem to grow in very hot, humid places, which suggests to us that they probably have elevated resistance to disease. The skins are smooth and tawny bronze orange, with some rays of olive green at the stem point.
