Galia-type Melons

The name Galia is the feminine form of the Israeli name Gal (meaning ‘wave’). Developed in Israel around 1970 by breeder Zvi Karchi, Galias feature smooth lime-green flesh and a sweet taste with tropical overtones. Typically the fruits have corky netting but no ribbing.

Culture: Pull from the vine when the skin blushes yellow, at full slip.

Diseases:

  • F: Fusarium
  • PM: Powdery Mildew
  • PRSV: Papaya Ring Spot Virus
  • WMV: Watermelon Mosaic Virus
  • ZYMV: Zucchini Yellows Mosaic Virus
