Melon - Billeberga

Billeberga is a round melon with yellow skin and orange flesh that needs a lot of nutrition. It has a small seed house, which gives a lot to eat on the approx. 10 cm large sweet fruit, which was produced in Billeberga in the 40s by Svalöv/Weibull. If you find a warm place protected from the wind, you should see that it is possible to grow good melons in our country as well. Greenhouses, however, give a better harvest.
