@seye15627, melon don't grow on three, they they grow on vine. Most melons need nutrient-rich soil, plenty of sunshine, and at least 3 to 4 months of warm weather. 3-5 melon fro a vine is a good harvest seye15627: How many melon does a melon tree produce? |

lif2uz: Thanks very much for opening this thread bro, I learnt that the leaves of the W/mellon is so tasty, and that attract insects to feed on them thereby making the plant nt to do well. And that there is need to apply insecticide; how true is that, if true what type of insecticide is used for it and when to apply it? You were accurate. 1 Like |
