Details
Minnesota Midget is a super-sweet, personal-sized cantaloupe that was introduced in Minnesota in 1948. Each compact plant produces around 6 juicy, orange-fleshed melons. The fruits arrive early, making it a good choice for northern climates with short seasons. Minnesota Midget only grows to 4-7 inches, perfect for 1 or 2 people to share.
