ORANGELLY

Orangelly is a Long Shelf Life (LSL) cantaloupe suited to cooler productions windows. In planting windows where other varieties may struggle to make size, Orangelly produces uniform, strong netted fruit.

  • Orangelly is a large-fruited variety with firm flesh and above average brix.

Features

  • Large, silver-skinned cantaloupe, suitable for northern production areas in autumn and spring
  • Large variety with LSL firm flesh properties
  • Above average brix and small, tight cavity
  • Fruit size between 1.8 – 2.2kg

Advantages

  • Size uniformity allows for some certainty around size expectations when planted in season (8 and 9 count)
  • Consistent size uniformity allows efficiency gains when packing
  • LSL characteristics provide flexibility at harvest and shipping options

Agronomic Tips

  • This variety is harvested by cutting the fruit. Signs that the variety is mature and ready for harvest are a skin colour change from deep green to more straw/golden in colour, netting starting to climb up the peduncle and slight cracking of the peduncle.
