Fire Phoenix F1 (Cucumis melo var. makuwa) is a medium-late maturing F1 hybrid melon variety. It has medium vigour, is easy to manage, and has strong disease resistance, with healthy and stable plants. It is suitable for protected cultivation as well as open field cultivation in suitable climates.
The fruits are elongated oval in shape, approximately 20cm in length and 10-12cm in diameter, with a single fruit weight of 600-800g, uniform and consistent in size. The rind is silver-white, glossy and bright with a natural sheen, and features a large, prominent navel, giving it a highly distinctive appearance.
The flesh has a fine texture and a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel, with a sugar content of 13-14° Brix – moderately sweet, refreshing and not cloying. The most outstanding feature is its rich, pure fragrant aroma, which is long-lasting and leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth after eating.

• Soil selection – Choose deep, fertile, well-drained sandy loam or loam soil with rich organic matter content.
• Light requirements – Full sun exposure is required to promote sugar accumulation and flavour development.
• Water management – Maintain consistent soil moisture during fruit development and expansion. Reduce watering 7-10 days before harvest to help increase sugar content and fragrance concentration.
• Timely harvesting – Harvest when the rind displays a silver-white lustre and the navel becomes slightly soft. At this time, the aroma and eating quality are at their best.
