Crane Melon – Organic Heirloom 4” Plant

‘Crane’ is a beloved California heirloom melon developed by Sonoma County farmer Oliver Crane by crossing a classic cantaloupe with a Japanese melon. This Crenshaw-type melon is renowned for its exceptional sweetness and juicy texture.

The teardrop-shaped fruits weigh 4–6 pounds and feature light orange flesh that is intensely sweet and refreshing. When ripe, the skin turns green with distinctive orange spotting, signaling peak flavor.

‘Crane’ melons thrive in full sun and mature in approximately 75–85 days. The plants produce reliable yields and are well-suited to home gardens where flavor is the top priority.

This organic 4” Crane melon plant is ideal for gardeners seeking a locally bred heirloom with outstanding sweetness and classic Crenshaw melon character.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
