Milan: is an early 72 day eastern type sutured melon with high brix and great holdability.  It has very high yield potential producing 4-6 pound fruit.  With a tight seed cavity and better cracking tolerance than other varieties in its class. Milan can be grown in locations that many similar types perform poorly in or split.  Milan is PM1,2 Fusarium 0,1,2, and average 13%-15% brix.
