Divergent defies classification—part Cantaloupe, part Galia, all flavor! This variety is sweet (Brix 15-18°), juicy and ripens earliest in its class. Orange fleshed, round fruits are medium-size, 2.6-3.0 lb. (1.2-1.4 kg) and set close to the crown for a concentrated harvest. Succession plantings are recommended for a continuous supply throughout the season, as the early maturity allows for the crop to be harvested in two to three passes. Noted for its uniformity in maturity, melons are ready to harvest when the netting begins to turn from green to tan. Divergent is an adaptable, high yielding variety that performs well in many regions, including northern areas with shorter seasons. Recommended for fresh market production only.
