Le melon serpent vous ravira par sa grande taille (à la fois buisson et fruit), son rendement précoce et élevé et son excellent goût. Les tiges de vigne peuvent atteindre jusqu'à 4 m de longueur, formant de nombreuses branches latérales rigides. Les feuilles de melon ressemblent davantage aux feuilles de concombre (même forme et à pubescence laineuse), mais beaucoup plus grandes. 1, record 1, French, - melon%20serpent
