85 days to maturity. Ambrosia cantaloupe is an F1 hybrid muskmelon bred in the USA. It is one of the best-tasting melons you can grow, and has been a top choice in home gardens for more than 20 years. The flavor is very sweet with a strong floral aroma, and many growers say it tastes like a mix of every melon with a hint of flowers. Brix levels, a measure of sugar content, average 12 to 14 percent.
The fruit is round, about 6 inches across, and usually weighs 4 to 5 pounds. The tan rind has medium to heavy netting and faint sutures. Inside, the flesh is a pale salmon-peach color, juicy and tender, yet firm enough to store well after picking. The seed cavity is small.
